President Trump took aim at CNN host Chris Cuomo, claiming to have information on him that could potentially lead to his termination at the network.
“He is Fake News, will always be Fredo to us,” the president said Monday in response to a Breitbart article about the anchor’s most embarrassing moments of the year. “I should release some of his dishonest interviews? Coupled with bad ratings, he’d be out!”

Cuomo has been called “Fredo” by the president ever since he threatened a Trump supporter who referred to him by that name earlier this year. The CNN host claimed the term is the equivalent of the N-word for Italians.
“Fredo” refers to the weaker, younger brother in the book and movie series The Godfather. Cuomo is the younger brother of Andrew Cuomo, who is the governor of New York.
The Washington Examiner reached out to CNN for comment on Trump’s claim of having damaging interviews with Cuomo, as it is unclear to what the president was referring.
