They won’t even cover the big breaking news about this scam!” This Mr Trump retweeted later in the morning under the words “FAKE NEWS!” CNN has in fact covered the story, under the headline “Handwritten note shows how FBI official approached key Michael Flynn interview”. Others featured for their fury at the FBI’s treatment of Mr Flynn included various sympathetic conservative voices, including Fox News contributors and right-wing radio hosts, as well as several Republican members of Congress. Same scammers as General Flynn!” At the sharp end of Mr Trump’s early morning mood, meanwhile, was former FBI director James Comey, whom the president has long considered a bitter enemy.
