Turning now to the white house transition and the first News Conference held by president elect trump after winning office. It covered a wide range of topics and had tense moments including this exchange with a cnn reporter. Can you give us a chance. You are attacking our news organization. Can you give us a chance to ask a question. Quiet. Quiet. Can you say mr. President elect. Dont be rude can you give us a question . No, im not going to give you a question. You are fake news. Go ahead can you say categorically the confrontation came less than 24 hours after a cnn report on alleged compromising information now is russias hand.

They see to it that hotel rooms are swept for bugs and cameras are not there. After the News Conference he claimed it was a lying conspiracy to cripple him. Its a witch hunt and trying to get him. They are . The Mainstream Media and democrats, they are upset about losing the election and still bitter and leaking anything they can.
