Several prominent members of the mainstream media are accusing President Trump of lying about former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admitting that there were spies in the campaign two days after Clapper said there were spies in his campaign. Clapper admitted informants were “spying,” but said the focus was on Russians and their potential ties to the campaign — which many insiders claimed was splitting hairs. Trump’s tweet says, “Clapper has now admitted that there was Spying in my campaign,” and Clapper literally said they were “spying” inside Trump’s campaign. NPR’s headline stated ”FACT CHECK: No, Clapper Has Not ‘Admitted That There Was Spying’ On Trump Campaign,” while Vox wrote, “Trump tweets James Clapper admitted to spying on his presidential campaign. The New York Times published a headline, “Trump Repeats Claim That James Clapper ‘Admitted’ to Campaign Spying.
