The New York Times has been criticized for publishing a short fictional story that depicts a Russian assassin’s attempt to take out President Donald Trump, with a plot twist where a U.S. Secret Service agent lends him help.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the story “absolutely abhorrent and disgraceful” during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Oct. 25.
