President Donald Trump is apparently still reeling from a Wednesday NBC report that said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a “moron” and that he wanted to resign this summer. Both Tillerson and Trump said the report wasn’t true.

On Twitter Thursday morning, Trump called out the Senate Intelligence Committee, a panel probing Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, and asked why the committee isn’t looking into “Fake News Networks in OUR country.”

After Tillerson held an unscheduled news conference Wednesday morning denying the claims made by NBC, Trump tweeted that the network was “more dishonest than CNN” and said they were a “disgrace to good reporting.”
