Trump Denies Journalists' Speculation on Roberts Meeting

President Trump addressed speculation surrounding his comments to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, which were captured on a hot mic during his recent congressional address. Trump clarified that he was thanking Roberts for swearing him in on Inauguration Day, dismissing media suggestions that he was expressing gratitude for the Supreme Court's rulings that favored him amid ongoing legal challenges. He criticized what he termed 'sleazebag journalists' for attempting to create a divide between him and the Supreme Court, insisting their interpretations were baseless. Speculation included the notion that Trump was referencing a recent decision granting presidents immunity from prosecution for official acts, which could benefit him in ongoing legal battles. Despite the media's focus on his remarks, Trump maintained that the exchange was simply cordial and innocent. His comments came alongside a broader critique of media coverage, which he labeled as 'Fake News'.
