President Donald Trump called out The New York Times on April 13 for its “corrupt” reporting on illegal immigration, adding that the newspaper would soon be out of business.
Trump’s criticism came after the paper reported, based on anonymous sources, that he had ordered acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan to shut down the U.S.–Mexico border. The report also claimed that Trump, possibly as a joke, offered to pardon McAleenan if things started to go wrong.
