President Donald Trump is expressing his displeasure with CBS Newsâ â60 Minutesâ and former Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) director, Dr. Rick Bright.
On Sunday evening, Bright appeared the long-running prime-time show where he was interviewed by news anchor Norah OâDonnell.
Following the interview, Trump retaliated with a barrage of fiery tweets. Trump criticized the interview saying the network interviewed a âfake whistleblower.
Rating OâDonnell as a âthird place anchor,â the president also accused her and CBS of âdoing everything in their power to demean our Country, much to the benefit of the Radical Left Democrats.â
âTonight they put on yet another Fake âWhistleblowerâ, a disgruntled employee who supports Dems, fabricates stories spews lies,â Trump tweeted.
He continued,â report was incorrect, which they couldnât care less about. Fake News! I donât know this guy, never met him, but donât like what I see. How can a creep like this show up to work tomorrow & report to , his boss, after trashing him on T.V.?âŚâ
The president called on Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to further investigate and challenged CBS executive Shari Redstone to evaluate her âpoorly performing gang.â
Despite Trumpâs criticism, Bright has maintained his stance. During his appearance on â60 Minutesâ he reiterated his sentiments on hydroxychloroquine.
Bright has been reassigned to a new role as senior advisor to the National Institutes of Health director for diagnostics.
