Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was revealed to be working for AT&T as they look to merge with Time Warner. In response, Trump quickly lashed out on social media but didn't get the best reaction.
Why doesn’t the Fake News Media state that the Trump Administration’s Anti-Trust Division has been, and is, opposed to the AT&T purchase of Time Warner in a currently ongoing Trial. Such a disgrace in reporting!

Trump on Cohen
In recent weeks, the scandal involving Michael Cohen has dominated the headlines, leading to even more trouble for the White House.
It started back in January when the Wall Street Journal reported that Cohen had paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to keep quiet about her previous alleged affair with the president. Since them, new information has been leaked that shows Cohen reportedly took close to $500,000 from a Russian oligarch to gain access to the president. The latest news notes that Cohen had been working for AT&T as a political consultant as they look to merge with Time Warner, which is currently awaiting government approval.

With the pressure mounting, Donald Trump made sure to fire back during a tweet on May 11.
"Why doesn’t the Fake News Media state that the Trump Administration’s Anti-Trust Division has been, and is, opposed to the AT&T purchase of Time Warner in a currently ongoing Trial," Trump tweeted. "Such a disgrace in reporting!" he concluded. As expected, those who oppose the commander in chief took time to hit back.
Twitter reacts
After Donald Trump responded to the news that Michael Cohen was getting paid by AT&T to advice them on their potential merger with Time Warner, critics wasted no time giving their own thoughts. "We don’t believe you Trump! It’s just that you’re a bold faced LIAR!!" Bishop Talbert Swarn tweeted out, before adding, "How much dirty money has your boy Cohen been paid Trump??
You are the most crooked POTUS in HISTORY! You make Tricky D*ck look like a choir boy!"
