'This is not true': CNN's Kaitlan Collins hits back at New York Post's reporting about her

CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Sunday hit back at the conservative New York Post over its reporting about her.

The Post recently reported that Collins, a past target of Donald Trump, "deleted a post promoting Luigi Mangione's defense fund after backlash."

"CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins apparently deleted a social media post after receiving backlash for appearing to promote a defense fund for Luigi Mangione, the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer," the outlet reported. "In the post on X, Collins showed a link to a new website launched by defense lawyers for Mangione, who faces charges of first-degree murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism, stalking and other state and federal charges in New York and Pennsylvania for allegedly gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4, 2024."

But to hear Collins tell it, that is fake news.

"This is not true," Collins wrote in a post directed to the right-wing media outlet over the weekend.

She added, "I posted that his attorneys created a website, which is newsworthy and other outlets have also reported on."

"In no way did I share a fundraising link for him," the journalist added.
