Donald Trump has urged the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is currently investigating him over allegedly ties to Russia during the 2016 election, to launch a new probe into the "fake news" media.
It comes after Richard Burr (the committee's chairman) said that the investigator "has more work to do" to determine whether there was an alignment between Russian officials and members of Mr Trump's election team.
Writing on Twitter, Mr Trump made the call for an investigation into “fake news networks” 24 hours after naming US news organisations NBC and CNN as “dishonest”.
