Key figures in Donald Trump's administration have become embroiled in a fresh war of words with the media.
On Saturday the president had condemned media reporting of the number of people attending his inauguration.
White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said there was "an obsession... to de-legitimise this president. We're not going to sit around and take it."
But photos show more people attended the inauguration of Mr Trump's predecessor Barack Obama in 2009.
Mr Priebus said on Fox News Sunday that the "media from day one has been talking about de-legitimising the election". He said Mr Trump's presidency would fight such coverage "tooth and nail every day".
The latest row was mainly sparked by the inauguration figures.
