President Donald Trump said he is pursuing a $1 billion payout from Harvard University, following a New York Times report that his administration had retreated from an earlier push to extract $200 million over alleged misconduct by the elite school.
Trump posted this on Truth Social:
The Failing New York Times story was completely wrong concerning Harvard University. I hereby demand that the morons that run (into the ground!) the Times’ change their story, immediately. SEE TRUTH BELOW! Also, just like their incorrectly called (by the Times!) Election results, where they got it ALL WRONG, my Poll Numbers are Great! The New York Times coverage of me is so purposely wrong. We will soon see how I do in my lawsuit against these fraudsters! FAKE NEWS!
