President Trump lashed out at the “Failing New York Times” on Sunday and singled out a reporter by name as he blasted the newspaper’s story that he is unhappy with the legal team representing him in the Russia investigation.

“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 wrote on Twitter.

He called one of the reporters on the story, Maggie Haberman, “a Hillary flunky.”

​

“They are doing a great job and have shown conclusively that there was no Collusion with Russia..just excuse for losing. The only Collusion was that done by the DNC, the Democrats and Crooked Hillary. The writer of the story, Maggie Haberman, a ‘Hillary flunky, ‘ knows nothing about me and is not given access,” he wrote.

The story, published on Saturday, said Trump is trying to recruit Emmett T. Flood, who represented former President Clinton during his impeachment hearings.

The two met at the White House last week.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Russian tampering in the 2016 election and whether Trump campaign associates colluded.

Mueller is also investigating whether Trump tried to obstruct justice when he fired former FBI Director James Comey in May 2017. Comey was heading up the FBI’s probe at the time.
