- 6 years ago
Lesley Stahl has revealed President Trump's explanation for why he uses the "fake news" attack.
Stahl had the first post-election interview with Trump on '60 Minutes' in November 2016.
Stahl told PBS Newshour that Trump explained the reasoning during off-camera comments.
"There were no cameras, there was nothing going on. [...] He said, 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all, and demean you all, so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.' He said that.
