Trump names several articles -- including the Times' "deranged endorsement of Kamala Harris" -- plus a book written by two of the publication’s journalists, "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success" -- ahead of the election as supporting evidence for the revered company "engaging in election interference."
