United States President Donald Trump denied a report published by The New York Times claiming that he had unexpectedly joined a C-SPAN broadcast and criticized the newspaper.
In a statement shared on his social media account, Trump categorically rejected the allegations, saying that his participation in the broadcast had been planned in advance.
Trump stated in his post:
"The New York Times published a false story saying, 'Mr. Trump apparently called into the premiere of a C-SPAN program unannounced.' This is false. It was a fully planned phone call through the White House Communications Office, as a gesture to C-SPAN. It was made at C-SPAN's request, not mine. The Times knew this but lied to damage my reputation."
