Donald Trump slammed the media for its failings over the notorious Steele Dossier following an 18-month investigation by the Columbia Journalism Review, claiming it also led to his 2020 presidential loss.
The report, published Monday, details shortcomings in the media's coverage about Christopher Steel's dossier linking Trump's 2016 campaign to Russia.
Taking to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump said the report highlighted the failings of the mainstream media and that it 'had a huge impact on the 2020 presidential election, just one of the many ways that the elections was rigged and stolen.'
Woodward was among those interviewed for a lengthy Columbia Journalism Review report published this week about the media’s handling of the unproven allegations that Trump colluded with Russia amid the 2016 election.
In the interview, the 79-year-old reporter — famous for breaking the Nixon White House scandal for the outlet in the early ’70s — recalled how he was quick to slam the largely-discredited Trump dossier when it was first published in 2017.
Woodward had dismissed the files, which were funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, as a “garbage document” during a January 2017 Fox News appearance.
He then reached out to unnamed Washington Post reporters — but claims they had no interest in his harsh criticism, according to the CJR report.
