CNN’s Jim Sciutto has had two big scoops debunked as very fake news in just one week.
Sciutto, CNN’s chief national security correspondent, joined the far-left network after serving in Barack Obama’s White House for a few years. His bias and dishonesty has made already him a laughingstock on more than one occasion, but this was an especially bad week for the anti-Trump activist.
Last week, Sciutto misled the public with a breathless piece of “breaking news” that falsely claimed President Trump did not consult with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats prior to revoking the security clearance of John Brennan, the former CIA chief who, like Sciutto, served in the Obama administration.
Using his verified Twitter account, Sciutto wrote: “Breaking: DNI Coats – the nation’s senior-most Intelligence official – was NOT consulted on Trump decision to revoke Fmr CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance.”

Two stories that are nothing but lies. Both stories attack Trump.
Is there a Fake News weekly list to go to? Thanks.
The leaks are real, the news is fake. Trump’s team is leaking this fake news stuff so they can then track who is leaking and bust them. That it embarrasses ass-hats like this guy is a just a bonus!
Busted? Au contraire! Dan Rather Award for Investigative Journalism.
I agree with you, sort of. In this case l believe the source for the CNN story was Michael Cohen — either directly or through Lanny Davis. I think there’s a damn good chance Cohen has been trolling even his own lawyer.
I wonder what security clearance level Jim Sciutto holds?
A person holding the position of “CNN national security correspondent” is about 99.9999999% likely to be working for an intelligence agency.
