Trump Rebukes NYT Report on His 9/11 Plans, Criticizes Maggie Haberman

Trump accused Maggie Haberman of false Sept. 11 reporting and said he would seek legal action against The New York Times.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump attacked New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman after she reported he plans to mark the 25th anniversary of September 11 at the Pentagon rather than Ground Zero.
  • The New York Times published the report on Thursday stating Trump chose the Pentagon because he could speak there, whereas officials have barred speeches at the World Trade Center site since 2012.
  • Trump labeled Haberman a 'stalker' and 'scammer,' threatening legal action against The New York Times and the Pulitzer Prize organization over her reporting on the Russia investigation, which he called a 'total CON JOB.'
  • Defending his attendance plans, Trump dismissed the report as 'more corrupt news' and asserted he never requested to speak at the 'solemn ceremony' focused on remembering victims and their families.
  • This pattern reflects Trump's long-running practice of targeting female journalists with personal insults when confronted with difficult questions, including past attacks on Megyn Kelly and Kaitlan Collins.
