"President Donald Trump has boasted that Harvard University is on the brink of capitulating to a deal with the administration after months of government attacks and moves to pull funding from the storied institution. But according to The New York Times, recent email communications show the talks are going nowhere. A huge sticking point, according to reporter Michael Schmidt, is that the administration wants to shake down Harvard for $200 million, which university officials consider to be out of the question. Furthermore, according to the report, Harvard was well on its way to agreeing to a deal in August, but things fell apart after Trump strategist Stephen Miller took a more active involvement in the proceedings."
