Despite the interview originally being cancelled over a dispute of what would be "on" versus "off" the record, a statement just released by the New York Times indicates that Trump seemingly folded and agreed to have an on the record conversation with the NYT's journalists and editorial columnists.

A portion of the meeting will be an on-the-record interview, as the newspaper originally wanted.

"Mr. Trump's staff has told us that the President Elect's meeting with The Times is on again," Eileen Murphy, head of communications for the Times, said in a statement. "He will meet with our publisher off-the-record and that session will be followed by an on-the-record meeting with our journalists and editorial columnists."
