Maggie Haberman of the New York Times said on Wednesday that the paper’s leadership warned reporters that there may be more investigations conducted by President Donald Trump’s FBI.
Haberman’s comments came hours after the NYT reported that FBI Director Kash Patel had reviewed information the agency had about reporter Elizabeth Williamson after she published a report about the level of FBI security given to Patel’s girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and Patel’s use of FBI jets to travel to see Wilkins.
“I’m sure that the FBI Director didn’t like it. I’m sure that his partner didn’t like any of the aspects of it,” Haberman told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.” “I don’t know anyone we cover who likes what we do. There’s a big difference between that and trying to elevate something to the level of a crime.”
Haberman then read from a note handed down by NYT Executive Editor Joe Kahn to the outlet’s staff.
“We are going to continue doing our work, and there may be more of this, and this is not going to stop us from trying to report and reporting on what’s happening,” Haberman read.delete
