President Donald Trump slammed The New York Times in a Fox News interview Saturday, calling its report that the FBI investigated him because of fears he may have been secretly working on behalf of the Kremlin as the “most insulting article” ever written about him. He also called the Times in his phone interview with Jeanine Pirro a “disaster of a newspaper.” He usually refers to it as the “failing New York Times.” The newspaper reported Friday that the FBI launched its probe after Trump fired FBI director James Comey — whom Trump called a “liar” in the interview. He insisted to Pirro that he’s not hiding anything, and indicated he would be willing to share details of the talks. The rest of Trump’s interview sounded largely like a campaign speech — and included another push for his southern border wall. Trump lamented the fact that “I haven’t actually left the White House for months,” except for a quick trip to Iraq.
