THEY AUTHORED ‘RESISTANCE’ NY TIMES OP-ED

The hunt is on for the senior official behind the anonymous New York Times op-ed that labelled Donald Trump ‘amoral’ as the president demanded the paper name the author for ‘national security reasons’.

‘If the gutless anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!’

U.S. President Donald Trump’s vice president and secretary of state on Thursday both said they did not write an anonymous column in the New York Times that asserted that many senior officials are part of “a quiet resistance” within the administration.

The opinion column, published on Wednesday, prompted the Republican president to blast the anonymous writer and the news outlet, and further fuelled accusations by critics that Trump was unstable and unfit for the presidency.
