Trump seeks $1 billion damages from Harvard University
The U.S. president accuses Harvard of illegal conduct and attacks The New York Times over what he calls misleading coverage
Trump seeks $1 billion damages from Harvard University and has accused the Ivy League school of spreading what he described as false information to The New York Times. The statement came in a lengthy post published on Truth, where the president said he no longer wants any future dealings with the university.
In the message, Trump said: “We are now seeking $1 billion in damages and we don’t want to deal with Harvard University anymore,” adding that the institution “has behaved very badly for a long time.”
Trump described the university as “deeply antisemitic” and accused it of attempting to implement what he called a “complex vocational training program,” which he said had been rejected as inappropriate. According to Trump, the proposal was “nothing more than a way to avoid massive damages of more than $500 million,” a figure he argued should be even higher given what he called serious and obvious illegal conduct.
Trump seeks $1 billion damages from Harvard University while arguing that the case should be handled under criminal law rather than civil law. “This should be a criminal matter, not a civil one, and Harvard will face the consequences of its illegal actions. In any case, this case will continue until justice is done,” he said. He also criticized what he described as the university’s poor handling of a serious situation affecting both the institution and the United States.
In a separate message, Trump called on editors at The New York Times to correct what he said was a completely inaccurate article. He added that coverage by the newspaper had been deliberately misleading and referenced a potential lawsuit against the publication.
Trump seeks $1 billion damages from Harvard University as tensions escalate between the president, the academic institution and major U.S. media outlets, following the latest exchange of accusations and legal threats.
