Trump's hot mic moment with Chief Justice John Roberts sparks conspiracy theories

After getting caught on a hot mic telling Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, "Thank you again, I won't forget it," conspiracy theorists claimed President Donald Trump was voicing his appreciation for the Supreme Court granting him absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” during his first term — a ruling written by Roberts.

But Trump tore into the "Fake 'Play the Ref' News" on his Truth Social Wednesday, taunting the media for its coverage of the exchange that took place at his joint session of Congress. “They never called my office to ask, of course, but if they had I would have told these sleazebag ‘journalists’ that I thanked him for SWEARING ME IN ON INAUGURATION DAY, AND DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB IN SO DOING! The Fake News never quits!” he wrote.
