President Donald Trump on Wednesday made hyperbolic claims about voter identification, as he renewed an attack against CNN reporter Jim Acosta and said he was hopeful the White House would beat a lawsuit filed by the network.

VOTER ID AND CEREAL

With recounts underway in Florida’s Senate and gubernatorial races, Trump told conservative news outlet the Daily Caller that a county elections supervisor should be fired and suggested Republicans sometimes lose elections due to illegal voting.

He falsely claimed that “if you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID,” and asserted without evidence that individuals vote multiple times after changing clothes.

During the summer, Trump had stated that grocery store purchases required identification. That’s true in limited cases, such as when paying by a check or buying restricted items like alcohol or cigarettes.

TRUMP TALKS CNN SUIT

Trump was asked in the interview if he expected to prevail in the CNN lawsuit. “I don’t know, we should,” the president replied. “Is it freedom of the press when somebody comes in and starts screaming questions and won’t sit down,” he asked. CNN, a subsidiary of AT&T T, +0.62% , is suing the administration over its revoking of Acosta’s press credentials.

“I really think that when you have guys like Acosta, I think they’re bad for the country,” Trump said.

FEMA BRIEFING, BROWN CALL

Trump was briefed by FEMA Administrator Brock Long and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke about the wildfires raging in California. The president also said he’d spoken with Gov. Jerry Brown “to let him know that we are with him, and the people of California, all the way!”

Just days ago, the president threatened to pull federal funding for the state if nothing was done to “remedy” the situation of recurring wildfires.

NIELSEN DECISION SOON

Trump also said in the Daily Caller interview that he’ll decide “shortly” on the future of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, with whom the president has reportedly been unhappy.

SUPPORT FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL

At the White House, Trump announced his support for bipartisan criminal justice legislation. Called the First Step Act, it would eliminate provisions that result in offenders serving consecutive sentences for certain crimes, and shorten mandatory minimum sentences. Trump thanked his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, who worked on the issue, and said, “it’s the right thing to do.”
