President Donald Trump has called for CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand to be fired and “thrown out like a dog.”
Bertrand has reported that a preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment found the attacks on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities had not destroyed the program, something which the administration has called completely false.
Exclusive: US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intel assessment. The WH says the assessment is “flat-out wrong.” https://t.co/yMjNt8xFPo

In a fiery post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump wrote that he had watched the reporter deliver fake news for three days.
“Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News,” Trump wrote. “She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out ‘like a dog.’”
The president continued, “She lied on the Laptop from Hell Story, and now she lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad when, in fact, they did a GREAT job and hit ‘pay dirt’ — TOTAL OBLITERATION!”
