Trump attacks Fox News and demands the expulsion of his correspondent

US President Donald Trump has asked Fox News to expel his correspondent Jennifer Griffin, who confirmed media accusations that he insulted veterans.
Trump was the subject of a strong wave of criticism after Atlantic magazine published a report in which it claimed that it described the US Marines who were killed during World War I as “losers” and “idiots”, when he did not visit a cemetery.

The official justification for not visiting the military cemetery was that the weather was bad, according to Agence France-Presse.
Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin said she was assured by two former administration officials that Trump “didn’t want to get in the car and go honor the dead American soldiers,” meaning the weather was not the cause.
An official also told him that Trump used the word “idiots” to discredit veterans, but in a different context related to the Vietnam War.
He quoted the anonymous official as saying, “When the president spoke about the Vietnam war, he said it was a stupid war and everyone who went there was idiots.”
The official considered that “it was a false step derived from the personality of the president. He did not understand why people can die for the good of their country, since it is not worth it.”
Trump said in an angry tweet: “Jennifer Griffin should be fired for this type of journalism. She didn’t even call us for comment. (Fox News) finished.”
Trump fiercely defended himself after the release of the “Atlantic” report, tweeting and retweeting comments describing the report as “disinformation” and describing the magazine’s editor, Geoffrey Goldberg, who wrote the report, as a “hateful” person.
Several of Griffin’s colleagues at Fox News publicly defended her on Twitter, along with Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who described her as “fair and courageous.”
Griffin addressed Trump saying on Fox News live today (Saturday): “I can inform you that my sources cannot be questioned,” adding: “My sources are not unknown to me and I doubt they are also unknown to the president.”
Before The Atlantic published the story, a poll conducted by the Military Times and the Syracuse University Veterans Institute reported that only 37.4 percent of serving soldiers supported Trump’s reelection, while 43, 1 percent supported Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
