White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hit back at the Wall Street Journal over the weekend for allegedly doctoring President Donald Trump's words following a recent interview.

It all began when the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Trump said he has a very good relationship with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump's comments came one day after he expressed willingness to re-enter discussions with the country over its nuclear program.

"I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un," the Journal reported Trump saying.

How did Trump respond?

He took to his Twitter account Sunday morning to bash the Journal for its "fake news."
