'President Donald Trump called a hastily arranged press conference Thursday in the East Room of the White House, where he launched into a startling attack against the media. '
'At the press conference, he stressed that leaking sensitive intelligence, in this case about the repeated contacts between his close associates and Russian intelligence officers, is a crime. '
'We have to find out what’s going on because the press, honestly, is out of control. '
'The level of dishonesty is out of control.”Trump’s White House is reeling from scandals related to his campaign’s communications with Russian officials, which the president has dismissed as “nonsense” and part of a media conspiracy against him. '
' The president said he has asked the Justice Department to open an investigation into the leaks.“I don’t want classified information to get out to the public,” Trump said. “All this information gets put into The Washington Post and The New York Times.”Do you have information you want to share with the Huffington Post?'

Fuck HP, but really the press conference is worth the watch. He was doing some pretty funny next level trolling in this one.
