Donald Trump Jr. attacked the New York Times, tweeting:
"What a weird thing for New York Times to ignore. In a completely unrelated matter, the owner of NYT, Carlos Slim, happens to have extensive business ties with the Chinese Communists".
Trump Jr. quoted former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer who wrote: "The New York Times has yet to inform its readers that Congressman Eric Swalwell, who sits on the Intelligence Committee, had a relationship with a Chinese spy. Journalism is broken".
