According to internet archives, The New York Times published, then quietly deleted, a baseless conspiracy theory that a video of President Trump after a hospital stay for coronavirus was recorded not on the White House lawn but in front of a “digital backdrop.”
Titled “Trump Lashes Out at His Aides With Calls to Indict Political Rivals” and subtitled, “The pressure on his top administration officials to take action came as President Trump bristled at the restraints of his illness,” the Oct. 8 Times article coauthored by Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman originally questioned the veracity of this video from Trump’s Twitter feed.
Trump’s video was posted at 1:13 p.m., ET, on Oct. 8. According to the Wayback Machine archive of the article, the NYT article posted at 8:50 p.m., ET, on Oct. 8 originally contained this section:
