Trump launches new round of attacks on media
Washington, Aug 6 : US President Donald Trump has launched a new round of attacks against the US media, accusing them of being able to "cause war".
In a flurry of tweets on Sunday, the President continued to cast the media as the "enemy of the people," saying "They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause war!"
That came amid heightened tensions between the Trump administration and US media, some which have been labelled by him as "the Fake News," a move heavily criticized by journalists, Xinhua news agency reported
Trump's daughter and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump, however, doesn't share the president's stance, saying last week that she does not think the media is the "enemy of the people".
Trump also fired another shot at the ongoing Russia probe, led by special counsel Robert Mueller, who's looking into the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election and any potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
Mueller is reportedly examining the president's elder son, Donald Trump Jr., for his role in arranging a June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in New York between a Russian attorney offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton and Trump campaign officials, including himself.
"This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics -- and it went nowhere," Trump defended his son in relation to the highly-scrutinised meeting.
The President also dismissed a Washington Post report that he's concerned about the meeting and his son, while trying to distance himself from the incident.

Justin Trudeau faces backlash for dancing at Taylor Swift concert amid Montreal protests
Ottawa: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has come under criticism after a video of him dancing at a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto went viral, coinciding with violent protests in Montreal.
The footage, shared widely on social media, shows Trudeau enjoying the performance at the Rogers Centre on November 23. While the concert featured hits like "You Don’t Own Me," Montreal witnessed unrest as anti-NATO demonstrators clashed with police, set vehicles on fire, and burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Social media users criticised Trudeau’s presence at the concert during the crisis, with some comparing his actions to Nero’s alleged indifference during Rome's burning.
The Montreal protests occurred during the ongoing NATO summit in the city, which focused on issues such as Ukraine and climate change. Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and set off smoke bombs, with at least four arrests reported.
