- Trump Chastises WaPo for ‘Hoax’ Report After Paper Corrects Story Alleging Ex-President Pressured Georgia Election Official

Donald Trump has hit back at the Washington Post after it corrected an article claiming that the former US president tried to strongarm a Georgia official, criticizing the report as an example of biased journalism.

The now-discredited story, published in January, alleged that Trump had instructed the state’s top elections investigator to “find the fraud” that led to Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory, and that she would be a “national hero” if she did.
