Trump revokes Washington Post credentials, calls it ‘phoney’ and ‘dishonest’ over ‘inaccurate coverage’ of his remarks on Orlando shooting

Donald Trump said on Monday his presidential campaign is revoking credentials provided to The Washington Post.

Trump wrote on his Facebook page: “Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post.”

He wrote that he’s “no fan of” President Barack Obama, but faulted the Post for a headline posted on Monday that he said read, “Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting”.

Trump said in an interview on Fox News Channel on Monday morning that when it comes to fighting terrorism, the president “doesn’t get it or, or he gets it better than anybody understands”.

Post spokeswoman Kristine Coratti Kelly said in an email the headline was changed shortly after the story posted “to more properly reflect what Trump said”. She added: “We did so on our own; the Trump campaign never contacted us about it.”
