President Trump suggests Senate Intelligence Committee investigate media companies

President Donald Trump suggested that the Senate Intelligence Committee investigate media companies that he believes are reporting information that is “just made up.” “Why Isn't the Senate Intel Committee looking into the Fake News Networks in OUR country to see why so much of our news is just made up-FAKE!” the president tweeted from his personal account early Oct 5.

The president's tweet comes one day after leaders of the committee announced that their findings confirm the conclusions of the U.S. intelligence community that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. They also warned that Russian operatives may try to continue to interfere in future elections, including the midterms next year and the 2020 presidential election.
