Donald Trump rejected a New York Times report as fabricated, saying he was criticized for moving too fast when he issued the China travel ban long before others supported it. He claimed Health Secretary Alex Azar told him nothing until later and pointed to Peter Navarro's memo as matching his ban decision, calling the report fake news.

Why now: The former president is publicly disputing a New York Times report about his early pandemic response, reigniting debate over the timing of the China travel ban.

• The @nytimes story is a Fake, just like the “paper” itself. I was criticized for moving too fast when I issued the China Ban, long before most others wanted to do so. @SecAzar told me nothing until later, and Peter Navarro memo was same as Ban (see his statements).
