The president is calling out fake news, over reports Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner pushed out former White House Counsel Don McGahn.
Continuing his morning correspondence on Twitter Thursday, the president said his daughter and son-in-law had nothing to do with McGahn’s departure.

The president went on to say the fake news media has it wrong on purpose, to create the illusion of chaos in the White House.
President Trump said his administration is a ‘smooth running machine with changing parts.’
He spoke positively about McGahn at a briefing Wednesday.
“Don McGahn’s a really good guy, been with me for a long time. Privately before this, he represented me. He’s been here now, it’s almost two years. A lot of affection for Don. He’ll be moving on probably to the private sector. And he’ll do very well. He’s done an excellent job.” -President Trump
He also pushed back against more of what he calls fake reporting, saying McGahn was not preventing him from firing Robert Mueller, or Jeff Sessions.
The president added, ‘the rigged Russia witch hunt did not come into play,’ in regards to his decision on McGahn’s departure.
Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner had NOTHING to do with the so called “pushing out” of Don McGahn.The Fake News Media has it, purposely,so wrong! They love to portray chaos in the White House when they know that chaos doesn’t exist-just a “smooth running machine” with changing parts!
