Reporter says ‘desperate’ actors are spreading hot stories to media to affect ‘end of race’

Veteran political reporter Mark Halperin issued a warning about explosive stories involving any candidate as the election approaches, after The Atlantic published a controversial report on former President Trump on Tuesday.

The Atlantic piece says Trump disparaged a Mexican-American soldier who was killed while in office. However, several people involved in the matter, including the dead soldier’s sister, denied the report as false.

Halperin addressed the controversial report on his live show “The Morning Meeting” on Wednesday, to warn that there are “all kinds of things being spread” about journalists right now trying to discredit each other.

“Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic just published his story two weeks before the election with allegations against Donald Trump, some of which have been debunked for the first time, some of which have been debunked for a long time. And the point I was making is that there are all kinds of things floating around out there. Maybe Jeffrey Goldberg just finished story two weeks before the election,” he began.

“I know of one story that was featured in a major newspaper for me, and for all I know, for many others, that I don’t believe is true. But if it is true, as I said yesterday, it will destroy Donald Trump’s campaign, just like the allegations, which are now completely distorted, that were planted by American intelligence in Russia about Tim Walz, if that were true, it would destroy his campaign. “
