CNN Forced To Retract And Apologize For Anti-Trump Fake News Story Linking Trump And Russia
CNN has admitted it printed what President Donald Trump calls ‘very fake news’ and retracted a demonstrably inaccurate hit piece on the President

CNN has admitted it printed what President Donald Trump calls ‘very fake news’ and retracted a demonstrably inaccurate hit piece on the President and his allies after a Breitbart News investigation uncovered significant inaccuracies and flaws in CNN’s work.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Try as they might, the Russian investigation is rapidly running out of steam, mostly due to the fact that there is no evidence of any kind connecting President Trump with Russia. What was originally published as a “blockbuster story” on the “Trump-Russia connection” turned out to be yet another lie promoted by CNN that this time they were forced to publicly retract and apologize for. The beauty of news in the blog age is that the fake news media can no longer control the narrative. Keyboards warriors are real, and very effective.
“On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund,” CNN said in a statement late Friday night. “That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.”
The statement was sent out very late Friday evening on CNN’s Twitter account.

The retraction is a complete cave by a network that is notorious for trying to pick fights with President Trump and his allies. President Trump has identified CNN as a “very fake news” network. It comes on the heels of Breitbart News reporting on the inaccurate CNN hit piece, citing senior administration officials and sources close to Senate GOP leadership.
The thrust of CNN’s inaccurate piece, which is no longer available online, was a demonstrably untrue allegation that the Senate Intelligence Committee and Treasury Department were probing a Russian investment fund with ties to senior Trump allies like Anthony Scaramucci.
Using a single anonymous source, CNN wrote:
The source said the Senate intelligence committee is investigating the Russian fund in connection with its examination of discussions between White House adviser Jared Kushner and the head of a prominent Russian bank. The bank, Vnesheconombank, or VEB, oversees the fund, which has ties to several Trump advisers. Both the bank and the fund have been covered since 2014 by sanctions restricting U.S. business dealings.
The Senate Intelligence Committee declined to comment on the matter when reached by Breitbart News, but a source close to Senate GOP leadership confirmed to Breitbart News that the allegation was bogus and politically motivated by Democrats. The GOP source close to Senate GOP leadership said:
This is nothing besides Democrats trying to frustrate the efforts of President Trump’s administration while Elizabeth Warren and those of her ilk spend their days collecting taxpayer funded paychecks while they do nothing but stand in the way of the progress of the American agenda and are responsible for this nonsense. They should put their names on it if they want to waste taxpayer money on it.
As Breitbart News noted in its original investigation into the demonstrably fake news CNN hit piece, this supposed Senate investigation exists only among Democrats and not the actual Senate Intelligence Committee. Breitbart News noted in the original investigation:
Such vehemently anti-Trump voices as Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) are on the Senate committee. CNN did not specify if its sole source for its story was a Democrat or Republican staffer, but most with familiarity on this matter assume that it was a Senate Democrat staffer without knowledge of the committee’s true intent or actions who made these inaccurate claims to CNN.
But that was not all that was wrong with the fake news piece from CNN. The CNN report continued:
Separately, Steve Mnuchin, now Treasury Secretary, said in a January letter that he would look into the Jan. 16 meeting between the fund’s chief executive and Anthony Scaramucci, a member of the transition team’s executive committee and a fundraiser and adviser for Trump’s presidential campaign. At the time, Mnuchin had not yet been confirmed as Treasury Secretary. The Treasury Department did not respond to a request for an update. Two Democratic senators had asked Treasury to investigate whether Scaramucci promised to lift sanctions — a policy shift that would help the fund attract more international investment to Russia.
It turns out, as Breitbart News noted in the original investigation, that the two Democrats who pushed for the probe of Scaramucci’s supposed “meeting” with the investment fund executive—which was not really a meeting—were Sens. Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Scaramucci debunked the CNN fake news report in his original quote to the network, detailing how there was no such meeting to begin with.
CNN originally wrote, in the now retracted inaccurate hit piece:
Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, minimized his January meeting with [Kirill] Dmitriev in the resort town of Davos, Switzerland, at the celebrated annual gathering of the World Economic Forum. Scaramucci had met Dmitriev at previous Davos meetings, although at the gathering in January, Scaramucci was expecting to be named White House liaison to the business community.
CNN also wrote that Scaramucci told the network in an email that Dmitriev “came over to say hello in a restaurant, and I was cordial. There is nothing there.”
The idea that the Treasury Department is investigating this is also completely baseless, as Breitbart News reported. “The matter has been reviewed and determined to be without merit,” a senior administration official told Breitbart News.
The inaccurate piece remained online for nearly an entire day, despite Breitbart News’s earlier inquiries to CNN about it. It was not until long after Breitbart News published its exposé on the fake news piece from CNN, hours later, that CNN finally retracted the piece and issued an “Editor’s Note” at 10:44 p.m. ET announcing the grave error. CNN’s Tweet was not until 11:50 p.m. ET.
CNN and Fake News goes back decades:
The first part of this video shows the stage set he was on, and he was clowning around with fellow CNN staff. The Saudi Arabian “hotel” in the background were fake palm trees and a blue wall in a studio. This clip was leaked by CNN staff. It was originally broadcast as a “live” event happening “on location”. Lol.
CNN spokeswoman Emily Kuhn has not answered followup email questions as to whether reporter Thomas Frank, whose name appears on the byline, has faced any consequences for his actions—or whether he is still employed by the network. Kuhn has also not answered whether there have been any consequences that have befallen others involved in the publication of the demonstrably fake news piece, or exactly who at CNN was involved in this grave mistake.
Kuhn also continues to refuse to answer whether anyone from CNN, including media reporter Brian Stelter—the host of the network’s media program Reliable Sources—are courageous enough to publicly defend the network’s actions in an appearance on Breitbart News radio on SiriusXM. Kuhn has refused to provide anyone from the network on Breitbart radio since before President Trump won the election last year and defeated Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in a landslide in the electoral college.
The fact remains, however, that CNN printed demonstrably fake news–and has now admitted it by retracting this piece–and it did so at the behest of Elizabeth Warren’s leftist agenda. But, as Breitbart News’s original source close to Senate GOP leadership said: “Mr. Scaramucci knows more about lawfully and ethically conducting business in the finance world than Elizabeth Warren will ever know U.S. finance — Native American or otherwise.” source

Now It’s Iran’s Turn As Hundreds Of Missiles And Drones Rain Down On Tel Aviv With Some Evading Iron Dome And Inflicting Terror On Jewish Civilians

The IDF warned Friday evening that Israel is set to come under what could be a massive Iranian missile and drone attack after Israel conducts strikes against Iran’s nuclear and military facilities and personnel.
The majority of the missiles sent by Iran on Friday were either intercepted by Iron Dome or missed their desired targets, as most analysts figured would happen. But in that mix of falling rockets, about a half dozen got through and lit up portions of Tel Aviv pretty good. Upwards of 63 Israelis were wounded to various degrees in the action. American THAAD systems joined forces with Iron Dome to defend, asking some to wonder if the United States is about to get dragged into a Middle East regional war. And why are Russia and China so quiet right now? That’s the memo.
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?” James 4:1 (KJB)
In typical Iranian style, the conflict was quickly shifted to directly attacking civilians instead of going after Israeli military targets. Iran and their proxies in Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza love to conduct operations standing behind children, launching attacks from active hospitals. Israel is either going to do to one of two things now. Either they will accomplished their stated goal of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, or they will exchange fire with Iran and call it quits like they did in 2024. But getting rid of those nuclear reactors is a big, big job, and it won’t be accomplished in days, weeks or even a few months. War is on deck, and maybe in more than just the Middle East.
Iranian attack toll rises: At least 44 injured, two in critical condition
FROM YNET NEWS: Magen David Adom Director Eli Bin reported on Friday, shortly after the Iranian missile attack on Israel that at least 44 people were injured, with two in critical condition, while the others suffered minor to moderate wounds due to shrapnel. All were evacuated to various hospitals in central Israel for treatment.
An Israeli security source said late Friday, amid Iran’s ongoing retaliatory attack against the country, that the U.S. is actively taking part in intercepting the Iranian munitions. Five to seven Iranian missiles landed in the Tel Aviv area late Friday as Iran began its retaliatory attack against Israel, sending dozens of ballistic missiles. Tehran sent over 100 ballistic missiles against the country as the IDF reported a third missile volley is expected to arrive in the region soon.
Even with Iron Dome in Israel along with help from THAAD missile systems from the United States, some of the rockets fired by Iran are getting through with scores seriously wounded. The big battle is yet ahead, pray for the the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 (KJB) pic.twitter.com/aX9JZHzy5N
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 13, 2025
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit late Friday warned for a second time Israel was coming under and Iranian attack. “The IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel. Defense systems are operating to intercept the threat. The public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice.”
— LoriAnnforJesus (@KJVGal777) June 13, 2025
The IDF said on Friday evening that the Air Force completed strikes on Iran’s nuclear facility in the area of Isfahan. “The site conducts a ‘reconversion’ process of enriched uranium. This is the next stage after uranium enrichment in the nuclear weapons production process.
“The strike destroyed a facility for metallic uranium production, infrastructure for enriched uranium conversion, laboratories and additional infrastructure,” Spokesperson Brig. Gen Ephraim Dafrin said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to speak on Friday with U.S. President Donald Trump as the Israeli Air Force continues strikes in Iran entering their 12th hour, including attacks in Iran’s western Hamadan province. Netanyahu has called a security briefing for 6:30 p.m. local time to evaluate the strike campaign in Iran, dubbed Operation Rising Lion. He will be joined by Defense Minister Israel Katz, Mossad Director David Barnea, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and other senior security officials. READ MORE

Iran Vows A Fiery Response To Overnight Airstrikes On Nuclear Facilities As Israel Says There Is Much More Action Coming Over The Next Few Days

Israel renewed airstrikes against Iran early Friday morning as the Natanz Nuclear Plant appeared to be in ruins, no word on strike against Fordow and Isfahan.
For the past 16 years, NTEB has written countless number of articles speculating on what it would look like when the day finally came for Israel to strike on the nuclear facilities in Iran. Last night, the whole world watched it happen, and the response to it on social media was quite predictable. The enemies of Israel were kind enough to remind us who and where they are, and that will be useful information in the days ahead. Israel’s official state plane, the ‘Wings Of Zion’, has left Israeli airspace presumably with Prime Minister Netanyahu onboard. That’s the memo.
“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (KJB)
Of course, last night as impressive as it was, is simply the opening round of what promises to be a protracted fight. Israel is seeking to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capability, but it is a slippery slope into all out war. No word as of yet from Russia and China, both of whom have a signed mutual defense pact with Iran. We shall soon see if it’s worth the paper it’s printed on. Keep in mind, Israel’s attack on Iran last night is just one of the many things we will be discussing on a special Prophecy News Podcast ’emergency broadcast’ starting Saturday at Noon EST. See YOU there!
Iran vows ‘painful fate’ for Israel, fires 100 drones in 1st response to attack; IAF downs them
FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Israel on Friday it faced a “bitter and painful” fate in response to the attack launched overnight against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, as Tehran launched 100 drones toward Israel in its initial response.
Israel alerted its citizens on Friday morning that Iran had launched more than 100 drones — which would take several hours to arrive — telling people nationwide to remain near bomb shelters. Three hours later, the IDF Home Front Command lifted its instruction to Israelis to remain near shelters without a single siren sounding in the country, after it worked to shoot them down outside Israeli territory.
So far, Iran’s strongest response to Israel’s precision strikes last night have been of the cartoon variety. Will Iran meaningfully respond, are they capable of it? pic.twitter.com/ZxmFY353KD
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 13, 2025
The IDF said late Friday morning that it had “control over the situation,” though it did not yet confirm shooting all of the drones down. Restrictions remained in effect for schools and workplaces in addition to public gatherings or events.
Israel “opened its wicked and blood-stained hand to a crime in our beloved country, revealing its malicious nature more than ever by striking residential centers,” Khamenei said Friday, in a statement carried by the state-run IRNA news agency.
The comments came after Israel launched a deadly wave of attacks that killed the Iranian armed forces’ chief of staff, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and top nuclear scientists.
“With this crime, the Zionist regime has set itself up for a bitter and painful fate and it will definitely receive it,” Khamenei said. READ MORE

Israel Launches ‘Operation Rising Lion’ And Eliminates Nearly All IRGC Commanders In First Wave Of Attacks On Iran’s Nuclear Facilities In Early Morning Hours

Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation aimed at dismantling the Iranian nuclear threat to Israel’s survival. This operation will continue for as long as necessary to eliminate this danger.
Operation Rising Lion launched as a complete and total surprise for the military of Iran, it happened so fast that Iran never even had time to sound the warning siren. In moments, precision airstrikes took out, one by one, nearly the entire top brass of the IRGC, as they lay sleeping in their beds. For over 16 years, NTEB has written about what this day might look like, tonight it happened. That’s the memo.
“Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” Psalms 121:4 (KJB)
Iran will certainly retaliate, that is if they still retain the ability to do so, but as of yet, no news of an Iranian counterattack has surfaced. Iran has been bragging recently about have advanced long range missiles, perhaps they do, but they better move fast. Israel is pounding them with everything they have, so it begs the question of will Russia or China, both of whom have a signed military defense pact with Iran, step in and help their ally out? Below is the message that Benjamin Netanyahu gave the Jewish people and the entire world tonight about the reasons for Operation Rising Lion, and why the time had come.
‘Never again is now’: Netanyahu announces strikes on Iran nuclear targets
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: For decades, the leaders of Tehran have openly called for Israel’s destruction. They have backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a nuclear weapons program. In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atomic bombs—nine. More concerning, Iran has recently taken unprecedented steps to weaponize this uranium. If not stopped, Iran could develop a nuclear weapon in a very short time—it could be a year, or even just months. This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s survival.
Eighty years ago, the Jewish people were victims of a Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regime. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear Holocaust, especially one initiated by the Iranian regime. As Prime Minister, I have consistently made it clear: Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to develop the means to carry out their threats. Tonight, Israel has backed those words with action.
OPERATION: RISING LION Israel is pounding Iran with wave after wave of blistering airstrikes. News coming in now that the entire top brass of the IRGC have been eliminated. Iran didn’t even have time to sound the warning sirens. Total surprise. pic.twitter.com/2lZyasXx8o
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 13, 2025
We have struck at the heart of Iran’s nuclear enrichment and weaponization programs. We targeted Iran’s primary enrichment facility in Natanz. We also targeted leading nuclear scientists involved in Iran’s nuclear weapons project. Additionally, we struck at Iran’s ballistic missile program. Last year, Iran launched 300 ballistic missiles at Israel. Each missile carries a ton of explosives, threatening the lives of hundreds. Soon, those missiles could carry nuclear warheads, putting not hundreds, but millions at risk. Iran is preparing to produce tens of thousands of these missiles within three years.
What’s happening right now is only the first phase of the complete destruction of Iran’s nuclear program. No going back now. #flight777 https://t.co/VLohAluHpf
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 13, 2025
I assure the civilized world: we will not let the world’s most dangerous regime obtain the world’s most dangerous weapons. And Iran plans to give these nuclear weapons to its terrorist proxies, making the nightmare of nuclear terrorism all too real. The increasing range of Iran’s ballistic missiles would bring that nuclear nightmare to the cities of Europe and, eventually, to America. Remember, Iran calls Israel the “small Satan” and America the “great Satan,” and for decades, it has led millions in chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” Today, Israel is responding to those genocidal calls with action—and with a call of our own: Long live Israel and long live America.
If Iran is planning on retaliating, they better do it soon. Operation Rising Lion is getting the job done. Say bye-bye to your nuclear sites, and enjoy the revolution. Go Israel. pic.twitter.com/CRRPq1oKcH

Our action today will help make the world a much safer place. I want to thank President Trump for his leadership in confronting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He has repeatedly made it clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear enrichment program. Today, it is evident that Iran is simply buying time, refusing to meet the basic requirements of peaceful nations. This is why we have no choice but to act—and to act now.
The hardest decision any leader faces is to stop a threat before it fully materializes. Nearly a century ago, facing the Nazis, a generation of leaders failed to act in time. They were paralyzed by the horrors of World War I and determined to avoid conflict at all costs—and they got the worst war in history. They adopted a policy of appeasement. They ignored all the warning signs. That failure led to World War II, the deadliest conflict in history, claiming 60 million lives, including six million Jews—one-third of my people.
After that war, the Jewish people and the Jewish state vowed, “Never again.” Well, never again is now. Today, Israel has shown that we have learned the lessons of history. When enemies vow to destroy you, believe them. When enemies build weapons of mass destruction, stop them. As the Bible teaches us: When someone comes to kill you, rise and act first. This is exactly what Israel has done today. We have risen like lions to defend ourselves.
Over 3,000 years ago, Moses gave the people of Israel a message that has steeled our resolve ever since: “Be strong and courageous,” he said. Today, our strong and courageous soldiers and people stand united to defend ourselves against those who seek our destruction. And in doing so, we defend many others, and we roll back a murderous tyranny. Generations from now, history will record that our generation stood its ground, acted in time, and secured our common future. May God bless Israel. May God bless the forces of civilization everywhere. Thank you. READ MORE
