You're Guilty, Jon': Trump Rails Against ABC Correspondent in the Oval Office, Says You're a Terrible Reporter'

"I've become immune to it. There's never been a person that's had more unfair publicity than me. And that's why your network paid me $15 million, or $16 million dollars. George slopadopoulos. And that's why CBS paid me a lot of money, too. And that's why I sued The New York Times two days ago because, well, I'm winning. I'm winning the cases, and the reason I'm winning the cases is because you're guilty, Jon. You're guilty."

"ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair network. And you should be ashamed of yourself. NBC is equally bad. I don't know who's worse. I think they're equally bad. And you know, for you to stand there and act so innocent and ask me a question like that. You paid a big price because you were dishonest, Jon. The reason that I won that lawsuit was because you were dishonest. You were proven to be dishonest."

President Trump confronted ABC Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl in the Oval Office and accused him of guilt and dishonesty while calling ABC and NBC unfair. Trump said excessive television criticism can cross into illegality and asserted he had been unfairly treated, noting networks paid him large sums and citing lawsuits he is winning against The New York Times. Trump referenced ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel Live! and an FCC threat to the network after Kimmel's remarks. Karl asked whether restored free speech includes harsh critics; Trump replied he has become immune and reiterated accusations of media dishonesty.
