Video Leak
The moment when John gives his opinion about whether there is any evidence concerning Trump and Russia.
On June 26th, 2017, video footage of John speaking with a member of an undercover journalist for Project Veritas was leaked. John and the person going undercover appear to talk for hours about the way CNN spin the stories concerning Donald Trump and Russia.
In one particular segment of the leaked video, John gives testimonial about how the CEO of
CNN is persistent in the coverage of Trump and Russia.
After many of the CNN journalists covered the Paris Agreement, Jeff Zucker the CEO of CNN wanted to immediately get back to Russia.
Project Veritas reveals that John showed the undercover journalists inside of the CNN studio.
John admits that they are no leaks to the scandal between Trump and Russia, and that there is no reason to continue digging if there's nothing to be found.
The video has since taken off on Social media with Right-wing supporters speaking out against Fake news and the fabrication of stories provided by whom they call Liberals.
