I never understand why people delete tweets. Once the horse has left the barn it is too late to close the door.
Lastly he fucked up by deleting the tweet, because it makes him look guilty. His best defense would have been he was given information and was researching it, but teased it with the tweet.
BTW Reagan is the cause of all this fake news BS. It used to be the news had to devout equal time to both sides, since it was required by law.
Now everyone has an agenda, and willing to lie or twist facts to support it.
That might have contributed, but the concept of 'fake news' itself has a more sinister history. The Nazis used the term 'Luegen Presse' (means Lies Press or Lying Press) to do exactly the same thing the right has been using fake news for, namely discrediting reputable media outlets that were running unfavourable coverage of the NSDAP.
