A CBS reporter who sparred with Trump earlier in the briefing just got her butt handed to her by Trump for asking a question that began with ‘fake news’:
The same CBS reporter who went full Karen on Fauci and Trump just asked:
"Why are there no consequences for China, for the misinformation?"
TRUMP: "How do you know there are no consequences? I wouldn’t tell you. You would be the last person on Earth I would tell."

Trump clearly didn’t like the assumption she made that there would not be any consequences for China’s coronavirus misinformation and he hammered her for it. When she then asked what the consequences would be, Trump responded “I wouldn’t tell you. China will find out. Why would I tell you?”
When the reporter persisted with the notion that there would be no consequences, Trump responded “How do you know there are no consequences? You’re gonna find out. I wouldn’t tell you. You’d be the last person on Earth I would tell.”
This is the same reporter that Dr. Fauci had to ‘reprimand’ earlier for suggesting his clarification wasn’t of his own volition:
Reporter: "Are you doing this voluntarily or did the President–"
Dr. Fauci: "No, no. I am doing it — everything I do is voluntarily. Please. Don't even imply that." pic.twitter.com/skgh9Wh0n7

This is also the same report that Trump went rounds with earlier in the briefing, which we posted here:
