Trump: NYT Story ‘Is FAKE NEWS,’ Jim Webb Not Being Considered for Defense Secretary

President Donald Trump blasted The New York Times Friday for reporting “fake news” in its article claiming he is considering Democrat Jim Webb to be the next head of the Defense Department.

“The story in the New York Times regarding Jim Webb being considered as the next Secretary of Defense is FAKE NEWS,” Trump tweeted, adding that he doesn’t know Webb and never met him:

Interesting.  Hard to know what to believe anymore.

On Thursday, the New York Times reported the White House is considering Webb, citing three officials. A source also confirmed to Breitbart News that he is being considered.

However, some who know Webb are skeptical he would be a good fit. While he would have the experience for the job, they say he also has an independent streak.

“There are a lot of advantages out of that, but there is also a big danger,” said Jim Hanson, president of the Security Studies Group. “Webb’s an arrogant bastard. That doesn’t always work. [Rex] Tillerson was also an arrogant bastard.”
