The threat now lurking behind Trump’s media-slamming tweets

President Trump began his Sunday by slamming the media on Twitter before spending the afternoon at one of his golf courses and tuning in to Fox News in the evening. It was a typical weekend day, in other words.

A couple of reminders before we move on:

Clinton’s campaign was tipped off to a question twice during the Democratic primary, once before a debate and once before a candidate forum, by Donna Brazile, who at the time was a Democratic National Committee member and a CNN analyst. Brazile’s leaks were unethical but not illegal, and the disadvantaged candidate was Sen. Bernie Sanders, not Trump.
