Yesterday the New York Times accused the Trump campaign of being in contact with Russian intelligence officials (without specifics about what these contacts were about or who initiated them). This morning President Trump reacted with a series of tweets taking aim at MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, the NSA and the FBI:
The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!

This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign.

Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia

Thank you to Eli Lake of The Bloomberg View - "The NSA & FBI...should not interfere in our politics...and is" Very serious situation for USA

Crimea was TAKEN by Russia during the Obama Administration. Was Obama too soft on Russia?

The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by "intelligence" like candy. Very un-American!
