President Trump unleashed a late-night attack on The New York Times on Monday, branding the newspaper �a serious threat to the national security of our nation� in a post on Truth Social.

�The Failing New York Times, and their lies and purposeful misrepresentations, is a serious threat to the National Security of our Nation,� Trump wrote just after midnight Monday. �Their Radical Left, Unhinged Behavior, writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never ending way, must be dealt with and stopped. THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! Thank you for you [sic] attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DJT.�

While Trump did not specify what prompted the post, the remarks came days after the Times published an in-depth investigation examining Trump�s past social relationship with the late financier and convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein. The report found no evidence that Trump was involved in Epstein�s trafficking crimes but detailed close social ties between the two men during the 1990s.

The president�s comments represent the latest salvo in his long-running and often incendiary feud with the Times, which he has repeatedly accused of spreading falsehoods and acting as a political adversary rather than a news organization. Throughout his political career, Trump has frequently labeled critical media outlets as �fake news� and �enemies of the people.”

The Times report landed amid renewed public scrutiny of Epstein following the Justice Department�s release this week of another batch of documents tied to the case. Among the newly disclosed materials was a January 8, 2020, email reviewed by Manhattan federal prosecutors, which stated that Trump traveled on Epstein�s private jet at least eight times during the mid-1990s, according to flight records examined ahead of the prosecution of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

The email, however, provided no indication that Trump was aware of Epstein�s abuse of women and girls � some as young as 14 � nor did it allege any wrongdoing by the president.
