President Donald Trump received a challenging response from the New York Times on Wednesday after his lawyer wrote a letter threatening to sue the newspaper partly by “antipatriotic” reports about the bombing of Iran.

The Times reported an early pentagon analysis that said that attacks in Iran’s nuclear sites would simply delay its nuclear program, undermining Trump’s statement that the attack was a knockout coup. CNN was the first to report on the Intel contradictory filtered and said it had also been threatened with legal actions.

The letter of lawyer Alejandro Brito, the Times reported, ordered the outlet to “retract and apologize for his article” false “, defamatory” and “antipatriotic” due to the alleged damage to Trump’s reputation.

By pointing out that the administration had confirmed the existence of the report, the gray lady responded strongly.

“No retraction is needed,” wrote the newspaper’s lawyer, David McCraw. “No apology will be presented. Let us tell the truth how best we can. We will continue to do it.”

The fury of the administration on the escape hit the critical mass at a press conference on Thursday when Defense Secretary Pete Heghseth even lashed out at a former News colleague, traditionally a Trump ally.

Hegesh accused the media against Trump and concentrated on News National Security correspondent, Jennifer Griffin, when he asked about the evaluation of the report that Iran had eliminated the highly enriched uranium before the bombing.

“You have been the worst, the most intentionally misrepresented what the president says,” Hegseth told Griffin.

In Truth Social Thursday, Trump asked that Times and CNN journalists be fired. In his growing war with the media, he already said that Natasha Bertrand de CNN should be expelled “as a dog.”
