President Donald Trump launched a series of insults and threats against New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman on Saturday, accusing her of years of incorrect reporting and vowing retribution through a pending lawsuit against The New York Times.
His remarks came hours after Haberman criticized the administration's lack of transparency regarding Trump's health during an interview with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart.
Haberman described the president's health as a 'black box' due to limited information about his medical history, including multiple hospital visits to Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Trump responded by calling her a 'maggot' and claiming her book is 'Fake News,' while also boasting about passing a cognitive test to prove his mental acuity.
The White House clarified that Trump referenced a physical exam completed in May, but the exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the administration and media outlets over health disclosures.Critics argue the incident underscores broader concerns about political accountability and press freedom.
