Former President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the media, calling CNN and MSNBC 'illegal' during a speech at the Department of Justice.
He accused the networks of being corrupt and acting as political arms of the Democratic Party. Trump's remarks mark a shift from his usual 'fake news' rhetoric to outright claims of illegality. His speech, which resembled a campaign rally, also included attacks on political opponents.
The comments have sparked renewed debate over press freedom and political rhetoric in the U.S.

Finally, someone is standing up to the corrupt, biased media—these propaganda networks should have been shut down years ago!
It’s about time someone called out these propaganda machines for what they really are—nothing but mouthpieces for the radical left. CNN and MSNBC have been pushing lies and misinformation for years, all to serve the Democrat agenda. The media should be held accountable when they intentionally mislead the American people. Trump is just saying what millions of patriots already know to be true!
