Unlike some of the other twitter sources (such as Louise Mensch), he doesn't divulge details of what the stories are, but he does have a great track-record in terms of timing. The Manafort donations note was the first, but he's hinting that there's another one out there.

And here's the other story, though not a huge bombshell or anything. Just revelations about Trump's lawyers meeting with Mueller to present arguments in defense of the obstruction of justice charges. There's nothing in those arguments that really exonerates the president beyond the weak 'has the authority to hire or fire anyone for any reason' defense.
