White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Saturday accused The Wall Street Journal of misquoting President Trump, taking issue with how the newspaper worded the president's statement regarding North Korea.
“I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un,” Trump is quoted in the interview. “I have relationships with people. I think you people are surprised.”
On Saturday, Sanders pushed back against the report, insisting the president said "I'd probably" instead of "I probably." The alleged error prompted several tweets from Sanders, who said "clear audio evidence" shows the paper's error.
"Fake news is at it again," reads a graphic tweeted by Sanders Saturday evening.
The press secretary later said the newspaper refused a request to change the word.
"We first contacted the WSJ Friday morning and asked for a correction. They repeatedly refused to issue one despite clear audio evidence they'd misquoted POTUS," she said later in response to a question from a Politico reporter.
