On March 6, 2026, former President Donald Trump publicly criticized Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, in a post on Truth Social. Trump used derogatory language, calling her “Maggot Hagerman” and a “SLEAZEBAG writer,” and suggested she and some colleagues could be included in his ongoing Florida-based lawsuit against the newspaper. The specific story that triggered his remarks remains unclear, though it may relate to a March 5 report on the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, an action connected to Trump’s political strategy.
