Donald Trump suggests he may revoke New York Times’ press credentials

Donald Trump suggested that his campaign may take away press credentials from The New York Times, his latest attack on the media over the course of his presidential campaign.

At a campaign event in Columbus (OH) on Aug 1, the Republican presidential nominee called the Times’ coverage of him “very dishonest” and suggested adopting the same ban on the newspaper as he has on The Washington Post. Trump revoked the Post’s press credentials in June after the newspaper published an article critical of Trump’s statements about a mass shooting in Orlando (FL). “It’s gotten a little better,” he said about the Post's coverage. “I should do it with the Times.”
