Trump slams New York Times 'phony story' that he doubts Mike Pence loyalty

President Trump on Saturday knocked down a New York Times report that he was questioning the loyalty of Vice President Mike Pence.

“He is 100 percent loyal,” said Mr. Trump, calling the report “a typical New York Times phony story.”

He said the story was more of a novel than a news story and the paper should retract it.

The newspaper claimed that several White House sources said the president was repeatedly asking about Mr. Pence’s loyalty, describing it as a sign that he was losing faith in the vice president and possibly thinking of another running mate for 2020.

Mr. Trump, who last week publicly asked Mr. Pence to be on the 2020 ticket, faulted the newspaper for not asking him before publishing the story.
