Donald Trump steamrolled over Jeff Zeleny when the CNN reporter tried to push back over the president's claim of "fake news" on Iran.
During Friday's press conference on Trump's Supreme Court victories, Zeleny asked, "I'm wondering now, sir, if you believe that Iran has given up its long history of ambitions with nuclear weapons, or what you would like to see from them to prove that they do, and what type of meetings is your administration looking for next week with Iran?"
Trump answered, "So, Iran wants to meet. As you know, their sites were obliterated. They're very evil nuclear sites, they were now, it has been proven — we had some fake news for a little while. The same people that covered the Hunter Biden laptop was from Russia. The same people that did 3 or 4 of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax."
When Zeleny tried to interrupt, Trump interjected, "No, no, wait, wait. Just listen."
He continued, "They came up with something that delayed the credit that our great pilots and these great Americans. I mean, they, what talent that was. And they hit it right down in the spot, 52,000ft. Think of this — dark, no moon. You couldn't see a thing. And they hit the refrigerator door, as they say. That's the size of a target. And overwhelmingly. And it's amazing what was done. We're the only ones that could have done it. And we took out the two of the other sites also. In addition to that, we finished them off."
Both Trump and Defense secretary Pete Hegseth have eviscerated CNN and The New York Times for questioning whether the Iran nuclear sites were truly "obliterated" as they claimed without providing proof.
