Priebus: Take Trump Seriously on Danger of 'Fake News'
The public should take "seriously" President Donald Trump's comment the "fake news" media is an "enemy of the American people," White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said.
In an interview to air Sunday on CBS News' "Face The Nation," Priebus blasted news stories about the administration's Russia links and intelligence briefings in response to host John Dickerson's query about the president's angry reaction.
"Well, I think you should take it seriously," Priebus said.
"I think that the problem we've got is that we're talking about bogus stories like the one in The New York Times, that we've had constant contact with Russian officials. The next day, The Wall Street Journal had a story that the intel community was not giving the president a full intelligence briefing. Both stories grossly inaccurate, overstated, overblown, and it's total garbage."
