April 21, 2018 08:42 AM Updated at 11:07 a.m.President Trump condemned New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman and a former campaign aide on Saturday, responding to recent coverage of his embattled personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
In a flurry of early Saturday morning tweets, sent from Florida, Trump called the White House correspondent a "third rate reporter," suggesting Haberman and her colleagues make up their sources.
"The New York Times and a third rate reporter named Maggie Haberman, known as a Crooked H flunkie who I don’t speak to and have nothing to do with, are going out of their way to destroy Michael Cohen and his relationship with me in the hope that he will 'flip,'" Trump tweeted. "They use non-existent 'sources' and a drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael, a fine person with a wonderful family. Michael is a businessman for his own account/lawyer who I have always liked & respected. Most people will flip if the Government lets them out of trouble, even if it means lying or making up stories. Sorry, I don’t see Michael doing that despite the horrible Witch Hunt and the dishonest media!"
