One of former President Donald Trump's impeachment lawyers blasted the mainstream media companies of trying to push a narrative instead of reporting on facts, saying news outlets are "trying to divide this country."

"What this country wants and this country needs is this country to come together," Michael T. van der Veen said, adding that the reason why there is so much divisiveness is "because of the media."

"Because the media wants to tell their narrative rather than just telling it like it is," he said, adding that corporate media outlets have "to start telling the right story in this country" and that "media is trying to divide this country" to make a profit.

"You are bloodthirsty for ratings. You're asking questions that are already set up with a fact-pattern," van der Veen said.

"When I watch the news, I watch one station, and it is raining. And I watch another station at the same time, and it is sunny. Your coverage is so slanted, it's got to stop. You guys have to stop and start reporting more like PBS does rather than TV news show that does not have any journalistic integrity at all. What I'm telling you is they doctored evidence," he said.
