Fox News anchor Bret Baier bluntly clapped back Thursday at Donald Trump as the president attacked the newsman and a reporter on Truth Social.Baier issued a defense and a blistering fact-check all in a matter of seconds after the president called out an earlier Iran war update on Baier’s “Special Report.”“Just moments ago the president ― I assume while flying to Texas, he’s just landed there ― put out a Truth Social,” Baier announced.He then quoted Trump’s post:“Jonathan Hunt of FoxNews did a particularly inaccurate report on the Failing Islamic Republic of Iran. I don’t want to meet, they do. In fact, they are begging to make a deal. Bret Baier should straighten out his flunkies, for a change!”Baier’s no-nonsense reply said it all.“First of all, Jonathan Hunt’s not a flunky. He’s a great reporter,” Baier pointed out with a smile. “Second of all, Mr. President, we didn’t say you wanted to meet. In fact, we played a soundbite you didn’t want to meet and there are no negotiations. We said that Treasury Secretary Bessent is hoping to meet with G-20 countries to increase the pressure on Iran and that gulf state allies, including Qatar, are inside Tehran trying to get Iran to agree to concessions. That was what was said.”A replay of the segment Trump objected to backs up Baier.
