Trump says the New York Times should be arrested over its report of empty rally seats

Trump claimed on Truth Social on Monday, Oct. 5, that his Saturday rally arena in Vandalia, Ohio, was "MAXED OUT," though The Times reported empty upper-deck sections by the end. The high school student center seats 4,500. Trump said upper-deck fans "migrate down to the Main Floor."

What he said:

• Trump's exact words: the Times "and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country."
• Trump also said thousands of people were turned away at the door.
