Trump: New York Times is ‘sooo wrong’ about my cellphone — FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks on the phone with Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. Trump, who blasted Hillary Clinton for using a personal email server, might be a walking magnet for eavesdropping and malware if he is using an unsecured cellphone to chat with foreign leaders. Trump has been handing out his cellphone number to counterparts around the world, urging them to call him directly to avoid the red tape of diplomatic communications. The practice has raised concern about the security and secrecy of the U.S. commander-in-chief's communications. | (Alex Brandon/AP)

President Trump said Thursday that a New York Times article that said his use of a personal cellphone poses a security risk is all wrong because he only uses government phones.

“The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it,” Trump tweeted early Thursday morning. “I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone. Story is soooo wrong!”
