CNN Anchor Hits Back at Trump After Late-Night Meltdown

CNN anchor Jake Tapper fired back at President Donald Trump after the president accused CNN of knowingly propagating fake news.

The network featured around-the-clock coverage on Tuesday of Trump’s backdown on his threat to obliterate Iran, including sharing a statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on the two-week ceasefire.

During the Tuesday edition of OutFront, CNN’s Erin Burnett read part of its statement on-air. “The enemy, in its unfair, unlawful, and criminal war against the Iranian nation, has suffered an undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat,” it read.

Burnett also discussed a shorter statement issued by Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, that Trump himself shared on social media.
