The New York Times and the Lies of Russiagate

"Some of the media outlets in this room were the ones who spread that.

There’s a report from The New York Times today accusing you of misrepresenting it.
Oh, wait, wait, wait — The New York Times?

Is that the same publication that won a Pulitzer for false reporting on Russiagate?
Is it the same organization? I think it is.

I believe a judge ruled against The New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax,
and they might have to return that Pulitzer Prize they received.

The New York Times... Let’s move on."

"Russiagate" was an extensive investigation into the alleged collusion between Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government. The investigation was led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and concluded in March 2019.

Key Findings of the Mueller Report
No evidence of collusion: The report found no evidence that Trump or his team conspired or coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.

Subsequent Controversies
Following the release of the report, there were criticisms regarding the foundation of the investigation. The reliability of the "Steele Dossier"—a document containing unverified allegations about Trump and funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign—was questioned. Additionally, the FBI was criticized for launching the investigation based on uncorroborated information.

In summary, although the investigation confirmed attempts of interference by Russia, it found no evidence of collusion between Trump and the Russian government.
