According to a new report from New York magazine’s Gabriel Sherman, billionaire media executive Michael Bloomberg squashed negative coverage of Donald Trump at his Bloomberg View outlet after the Republican frontrunner handwrote a note complaining.

Bloomberg View’s editor, however, clapped back that Sherman’s story was a “fantasy”:

Billionaire helping Billionaire.
Watch Bloomberg run as a 3rd party candidate to guarantee Trump’s election.
