In a brief tweet, she insisted Vanity Fair had published "a good debunking" of allegations that her 2016 presidential campaign had indirectly funded efforts to spy on White House servers and the Trump campaign. She dismissed those claims as the "latest nonsense" about her emanating from the political right.

"Trump & Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones," she tweeted. "So it's a day that ends in Y.

"The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie. For those interested in reality, here's a good debunking of their latest nonsense."

With that, she linked to the VF story, though the suggestion it offers a fair take on the spying claims is sure to be disputed. A story subhead, "In less breaking news, Donald Trump remains a moron," raises bias flags.
