Trump slams 'dishonest' media at CIA Headquarters

International Desk: President Donald Trump ripped the media at his speech at CIA headquarters on Saturday, calling journalists "dishonest" and saying that they were behind false reports about a rift with the intelligence community.

"I have a running war with the media," the president told about 400 CIA employees in Langley, Va. "They are among the most dishonest human beings on Earth.

"They sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community," he added. "I just want to let you know that the reason you're the number one stop is exactly the opposite."

Trump spoke at the agency on his first full day as president.

He attacked news reports that only 250,000 people turned out for his Friday inauguration — and a false tweet by a Time magazine reporter that the bust of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was replaced with Winston Churchill's in the Oval Office.
