Trump regularly rails about the 'fake news' at home, but on Friday he shared his feelings with the head of the government which the Mueller report says used cutouts and fake online personalities to interfere with the U.S. elections.

The comments came as a horde of reporters tried to capture the historic meeting on film and video.
