A federal official told Reuters Wednesday that the Secret Service did not 'formally' talk to Donald Trump's campaign about his controversial 'Second Amendment' quip.

CNN had earlier reported that 'there has been more than one conversation,' on the topic between Trump's people and the Secret Service, though who agents talked to was unclear.

Now, Donald Trump is jumping on this latest reporting to vindicate himself, tweeting, 'Reuters just announced that Secret Service never spoke to me or my campaign.'

Donald Trump is facing criticism for suggesting the 'Second Amendment' be used to comabt Hillary Clinton - and denying his campaign got a talking to from the Secret Service

Donald Trump embraced a Reuters report that came out Wednesday that said the Secret Service didn't 'formally' talk to the Republican's campaign

Previously, CNN reported that agents had several conversations with Donald Trump's people but didn't know who from the campaign was approached

'Made up story by CNN is a hoax,' Trump continued. 'Totally dishonest.'

Though Reuters only reported that there was no formal dialogue opened, leaving on the table the possibility that conversations between agents and Trump's aides could have occurred.

While rival Hillary Clinton is once again facing politically problematic news with the new batch of emails from her tenure from the State Department showing cozy behavior between aides and her family foundation, Trump hasn't been able to make use of it.

Instead, since Tuesday afternoon, he's had to push back after making comments many interpreted as a call to arms against Clinton.

'If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,' Trump said Tuesday at a campaign rally in North Carolina.

'Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know,' he added.

The remark was interpreted as if Trump was suggesting his supporters use their guns against his rival.

Trump countered saying he wanted those who support the Second Amendment to use their political clout to head to the voting booth in November and defeat Clinton.

'There can be no other interpretation,' Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night.

'Give me a break,' he said.

'Even reporters have told me – I mean, give me a break,' the Republican nominee said.

Upon hearing of CNN's report saying there were conversation between the Secret Service and the Trump campaign, Trump immediately pushed back.
