The nonprofit media watchdog group Media Matters is reportedly considering shutting down, the New York Times reported Friday, as the nonprofit scrambles to fend off “legal assaults” from allies of President Donald Trump.

“The group has slashed the size of its staff and scrambled to raise more cash from skittish donors, according to documents and interviews with 11 people familiar with the organization’s fight to survive,” reads a report published in the New York Times on Friday.

“...As a last resort, it has considered shuttering, according to interviews and an internal document.”
