‘SICK!!!’ Trump Lashes Out At CNN News Team Over Bombshell Report He Calls ‘HOAX’

President Donald Trump lashed out at a CNN reporting team, calling them “sleazebag” and their bombshell reporting a “HOAX” in a late-night social media post.

On Friday night, Trump took to Truth Social to slam CNN’s Zachary Cohen, Alayna Treene, Kylie Atwood, and Jennifer Hansler — without naming them. Trump wrote:

Who in the Fake News Media is the SleazeBag saying that “President Trump wants to give Iran $30 Billion to build non-military Nuclear facilities.” Never heard of this ridiculous idea. It’s just another HOAX put out by the Fake News in order to demean. These people are SICK!!!

The team compiled an exclusive report on the next steps in negotiations with Iran that included the detail that Trump focused on, as well as others:

Some details were hashed out in a secret, hours-long meeting between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Gulf partners at the White House last Friday, the day before US military strikes against Iran, two sources familiar with the meeting told CNN.

Among the terms being discussed, which have not been previously reported, is an estimated $20-30 billion investment in a new Iranian non-enrichment nuclear program that would be used for civilian energy purposes, Trump administration officials and sources familiar with the proposal told CNN. One official insisted that money would not come directly from the US, which prefers its Arab partners foot the bill. Investment in Iran’s nuclear energy facilities has been discussed in previous rounds of nuclear talks in recent months.

“The US is willing to lead these talks” with Iran, the Trump administration official told CNN. “And someone is going to need to pay for the nuclear program to be built, but we will not make that commitment.”

Fallout from the airstrikes on Iran dominated the news this week, as the president and his administration continually complained about the coverage and the leaks casting doubt on his assertion that the strikes “completely obiterated” their nuclear program
