threatening the press for "unpatriotic" reporting of an acknowledged release? is trump's America the new North Korea, Russia perhaps?
good on ya, mate *nods*
apparently, CNN also 'responded to the letter by rejecting the claims in it' but did not make that response public like the NYT did. *clucks*

The Times reported on an early Pentagon analysis saying the strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites would merely delay its nuclear program, undercutting Trump’s claim that the attack was a knockout blow. CNN was the first to report on the leaked contradictory intel and said it had also been threatened with legal action.
The letter from attorney Alejandro Brito, the Times reported, ordered the outlet to “retract and apologize” for its “false,” defamatory” and “unpatriotic” article due to the alleged damage to Trump’s reputation.
Noting that the administration had confirmed the existence of the report, the Gray Lady hit back hard.
“No retraction is needed,” the paper’s lawyer, David McCraw, wrote back. “No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so.”
