President Donald Trump slammed a 'failing' New York Times report on Sunday, which stated he was hiring an impeachment specialist to his Russia legal team.

He targeted Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for the newspaper, calling her a 'Hillary flunky' for her recent article.

Trump claimed in his tweets Sunday that he is 'very happy' with his lawyers and said the New York Times purposely wrote a false article about him.

He tweeted: 'The Failing New York Times purposely wrote a false story stating that I am unhappy with my legal team on the Russia case and am going to add another lawyer to help out. Wrong.'

'I am VERY happy with my lawyers, John Dowd, Ty Cobb and Jay Sekulow.'

Trump claims his lawyers have worked extensively to prove there was no collusion between Russia and his administration.

The New York Times report on Saturday said Trump was in talks with an impeachment lawyer who represented former president Bill Clinton.

Emmett T. Flood, a veteran Washington lawyer, allegedly met with the president in the Oval Office last week, according to the newspaper.

A reportedly four people confirmed the interaction and stated the president was considering the lawyer to join the White House to help with the special inquiry.

It went on to say the lawyer would not replace Cobb, the White House lawyer who has been dealing with the special counsel since the summer.

But instead, Flood would work with the president on day-to-day tasks as he meets with the Justice Department.

Haberman responded to Trump's Twitter storm with a simple 'lol'. She has reported on a variety of Trump articles in the last year including breaking the story of Hope Hicks resigning

Later, Haberman tweeted more context about her article, which was published on Saturday. She claimed Trump's advisers were unhappy with the prospect of Flood joining the team

Haberman confirmed the New York Times article never said Trump was unhappy. It merely stated he was looking to add another lawyer to the legal team

An outraged Trump expressed his fury on Twitter once he was made aware of the report.

He claims Haberman, the lead reporter for the story, 'knows nothing about me and is not given access.'

The report was also written by reporter Michael Schmidt, but Trump was focused on targeting Haberman in his tweets.

The reporter appeared unbothered by the attack from the president on Sunday and responded to his tweet with a simple 'lol'.

She then added more context to her report of Trump considering adding Flood to his team.

Haberman said on Twitter: 'Some of his (Trump's) advisers are unhappy about prospect of a newcomer and had highlighted for him Flood’s Dem background.'

The reporter alludes to Trump's potential change of heart about adding to his legal team to be due to his advisers expressing their concerns about Flood's work with Democrats.

She later explained that the New York Times never reported Trump was 'unhappy' with his legal team.

The article only stated he was interested in hiring an impeachment lawyer and some of his other lawyers were in 'temporary' positions.

Clifford Levy, the deputy managing editor for the newspaper, defended the article on Sunday

Her latest tweet on Sunday said: 'NYT story didn’t say that Trump was unhappy with his team, though other stories that confirmed our reporting later may have asserted it.

'But Trump may not have told all his lawyers he was meeting with Flood. He doesn’t want to inflame people who know a lot about his case.'

Her tweet alludes to the possibility that Trump doest want to stir up controversy with his current lawyers since they know a lot about his case and could turn against him.

Clifford Levy, the deputy managing editor for the newspaper, defended the article on Sunday afternoon.

He tweeted: 'We - (The New York Times) - stand by our reporting, which was confirmed by multiple people close to the President.'

Levy also backed Haberman saying she is one of the 'finest journalists in the world' and encouraged everyone to read the article for themselves.

Haberman previously broke the news about Hope Hicks', Trump's former communications director, departure and the president's daily routine at the White House among other reports.

The daily routine report also received attacks from the president after it was revealed he allegedly consumes 12 diet cokes per day and sits for hours watching cable news TV.

Trump also ranted about the 'Fake News Media' on Sunday in terms of their coverage on recent Congressional races.

The president ended his Twitter storm on Sunday by advertising his approval rating

He tweeted: 'The Republicans are 5-0 in recent Congressional races, a point which the Fake News Media continuously fails to mention.'

'I backed and campaigned for all of the winners. They give me credit for one. Hopefully, Rick Saccone will be another big win on Tuesday.'

He made it clear he was looking for credit in backing 'all of the winners'.

Trump also claims the Democrats continue to 'obstruct the justice of hundreds of good and talented people who are needed to run our government'.

As to whom he is referring to remains unclear.
