Trump Unleashes on NY Times’ Maggie Haberman Over Her 9/11 Memorial No-Show Story

"She’s a stalker, and should be forced to turn over any and all money that she’s made through her fake reporting on me," the president writes The post Trump Unleashes on NY Times’ Maggie Haberman Over Her 9/11 Memorial No-Show Story appeared first on TheWrap .

President Donald Trump expressed outrage on social media after a New York Times article suggested he may have missed a 9/11 memorial service at Ground Zero due to a lack of a prepared speech. The Times attributed the claim to reporters Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Dana Rubinstein and Sally Goldenberg. Trump dismissed the story as "more corrupt news" from the outlet, asserting he had never considered the fabricated allegations.

He emphasized his frequent trips to New York and his constant speaking engagements, arguing the day should be devoted to honoring victims and their families. Trump further criticized Haberman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, calling her a "phony" and alleging she got the "Russia, Russia, Russia hoax" award for her "fake reporting".

He threatened legal action, hinting that the Pulitzer Prize board would soon reveal her sources to be non-existent or deceptive. This isn't the first instance of Trump targeting the Times; he recently sued the publication for $15 billion over unfavorable coverage ahead of the 2024 election. The Times and its editors have consistently defended their reporting, maintaining their commitment to journalistic integrity and the First Amendment.
