NYT reporter who probed my relationships should resign: Trump

May 18, 2016 20:41

Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded that The New York Times sack its reporter who did an investigative report on his relationships with women that allegedly showed the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in bad light.

"Michael Barbaro, the author of the now discredited" The New York Times "hit piece on me with women, has in past tweeted badly about me. He should resign," Trump tweeted.

The weekend report based on interviews with several women who worked with Trump in the last few decades portrays the 69-year-ol real-estate tycoon in a negative light.

The report said that the thrice-married Trump has a mixed history with women, with crude remarks mixed with efforts to foster the career of female employees.

It said Trump cultivated an image as a womaniser ever since he was in an all-male military school in the 1960s, where he was dubbed a "ladies' man.

Trump has denied the allegations and has been critical of the daily both on Twitter, other social media platforms and in his interviews to other media outlets.

One of the lead woman in the story -- a former girlfriend of Trump -- has alleged that the Times "spun" her quotes.

The NYT said it stands by its story.
