US President Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social to sharply criticize ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, calling him a “third rate news anchor” and blasting his latest book as filled with fabricated stories that “bear no relationship to the truth.”
In the post, Trump wrote:
“Third rate news “anchor” Jonathan Karl of ABC Fake News, the worst and most corrupt Network in the business, wrote another made up book about me where his stories and “reporting” bare no relationship to the truth. ABC was already forced to pay me $16,000,000 because of their false and misleading reporting. That was a Liddle’ George Slopadopolus error, but Karl is worse. A waste of time – Fictitious quotes. Don’t buy the book! President DJT”
The fiery message comes as Karl promotes his book “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America”, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at Trump’s 2024 campaign and return to the White House. Trump has repeatedly accused the media, particularly ABC, of biased and inaccurate coverage.
