President Trump sent 3 tweets on Tuesday

“We have found nothing to show collusion between President Trump & Russia, absolutely zero, but every day we get more documentation showing collusion between the FBI & DOJ, the Hillary campaign, foreign spies & Russians, incredible.” @SaraCarterDC @LouDobbs

The segment which aired on Monday, was to discuss Sara Carter’s article that appeared on Sara Cater dot com. The article focused on the “newly discovered” texts between Strzok’s, and Lisa Page and the letter sent to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein by Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep Mark Meadows (R-NC) in which Rep Meadows questions the texts that appear according to Meadows show an effort by Strzok’s and Page to coordinate media leaks harmful to the “Trump Administration.”
The texts in question that Meadows calls, “troubling enough,” are from April 10th, 2017 and April 12th, 2017. According to Meadows he believes Strozk and Page, leaked information on the 10th of April to the press. The leak was on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, the media outlet was the Washington Post, who published on April 11th, 2017 article that discussed the FISA warrant that had been obtained in October 2016 against Carter Page.
The texts taken from Meadows letter

Strzok’s attorney Aitan Goelman, has issued a statement via NBC News, “The term ‘media leak strategy’ in Mr. Strzok’s text refers to a Department-wide initiative to detect and stop leaks to the media. The president and his enablers are once again peddling unfounded conspiracy theories to mislead the American people.”
7:59 a.m. President Trump tweets about his now personal attorney and former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani calling him a “TRUE WARRIOR”
Rudy Giuliani did a GREAT job as Mayor of NYC during the period of September 11th. His leadership, bravery and skill must never be forgotten. Rudy is a TRUE WARRIOR!
