✦ Summary · July 12, 2026 AI-written summary of the news — not a direct quote

Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to criticize news organizations and specific journalists, accusing them of publishing inaccurate stories, as the White House Correspondents’ Association condemned what it called efforts to pressure reporters. His remarks came amid reports that the Justice Department had issued subpoenas to four New York Times journalists over their coverage of security issues with the new Air Force One. In his posts, Trump referenced having recently undergone a medical evaluation at Walter Reed military hospital—a detail he introduced while also boasting about his performance on cognitive exams and vowing legal action against The New York Times. The episode underscores Trump’s ongoing conflict with mainstream media outlets, which he has long claimed are biased against him.
