ALT “President Trump and the administration have demonstrated a pattern of criticizing accurate reporting that illuminates new facts about their efforts. Yesterday's story -- based on extensive reporting, including conversations with Harvard and Trump officials -- is the most recent in a series of reports regarding the Trump administration's use of financial and legal pressure to reach a deal with Harvard University. We updated our story overnight to include Mr. Trump's latest statement and remain confident in the accuracy of our original reporting on negotiations as they unfolded in recent weeks." — Nicole Taylor, a spokesperson for The New York Times
