Trump Accuses NBC’s Lester Holt of ‘Fudging’ Tape Of Russia Interview, Provides No Proof

Trump has accused NBC of tampering with the tape of his interview with Lester Holt last year.
President Donald Trump unleashed a furious attack on the media yet again Thursday morning, urging CNN to fire its president, Jeff Zucker, and accusing NBC News anchorman Lester Holt of “fudging” an interview with him. “What’s going on at CNN is happening, to different degrees, at other networks—with NBC News being the worst,” the president wrote. “The good news is that Andy Lack(y) is about to be fired(?) for incompetence, and much worse. When Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia, they were hurt badly!” In a shockingly candid interview last May, Trump flatly admitted to Holt that “the Russia thing” was on his mind when he fired former FBI Director James Comey—an admission that has fueled charges he obstructed justice for investigators in the Russia election interference probe. The president provided no reason for why he believes the interview was “fudged.” Elsewhere in his tweetstorm, Trump strongly denied reports that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner “pushed out” the outgoing White House lawyer Don McGhan, claiming the reports were “so wrong!”

Donald Trump has disgraced America enough to cause 10 resignations, but we really need just this one, his. America's prominent figures and institutions should immediately public statements demanding the president* step down. If he doesn't, sooner or later something terrible will happen.
So HOW does anyone oppose this overt gaslighting?
Should Lester Holt sue Trump for defamation of character? How about Andy Lack?
There HAS to be a way to hold Trump responsible for fabricating accusations and spewing outright LIES about people.
You can have your own opinion but you can't have your own facts. Every thinking person on the planet knows that Trump told Lester Holt that he fired Comey because of the Russia Investigation. PERIOD, full stop. No other interpretation of Trump's statement can be posited by an intellectually honest person.
