By Larry Klayman WND July 20, 2018 President Donald J. Trump took a pounding this week, even from his “beloved” Fox News, over his comments at his joint press conference Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin. This stemmed from his statement questioning the so-called “intelligence” of our intelligence community — namely that Russia is the culprit for hacking the servers of the Democratic National Committee and by extension the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.
