Those assertions. most news organizations, including fox, stayed away. but earlier, cnn did pick up the general thread of the story and that angered mr. trump. he was also agitated that u.s. intelligence agencies in the past have leaked stuff. >> i think it is a disgrace. and i say that, and i say that, and that is something that germany would have done that and did do. i think it is a disgrace that information that was false and fake and never happened got released to the public, as far as buzz...

And we think that it may leak and it may be used as blackmail against you. you dont think thats a news story? you dont think that is worth reporting? >> bill: i think it has to be kept with the president and the intel agencies. unless there is clarification about who is putting this out. because you can create mass chaos. the press can create mass chaos and defamation by putting out all the rumor and innuendo that floats in to the intelligence agency. >> buzzfeed is guilty of that. cnn was very ...
