The Nauvoo Expositor press was destroyed on June 10, 1844. This event occurred shortly after the newspaper's first and only issue was published, which criticized the leadership of Joseph Smith and the practices of the Latter Day Saint movement. The destruction of the press led to significant tensions in Nauvoo and contributed to the events leading up to Smith's arrest and eventual death later that month.

What happened to the newspaper that Joseph Smith said printed lies about the Mormons?
Many newspapers have printed lies about the Mormon Church, but I believe you may be referring to the Nauvoo Expositor, which Joseph Smith (as mayor of Nauvoo) had destroyed beacuse they were causing an uproar in the town. (This was also the action for which he was jailed, and this inprisonment allowed his assasination) The Nauvoo Expositor printed only one issue. Joseph Smith, as mayor, had their printing press destroyed as punishment for disturbing the peace, and they never printed anything again. They didn't really have a reason to print anything else, as after that Joseph was dead and the Mormons moved out of the state.

Joseph Smith said that about many newspapers, as most papers at the time knew nothing of the Mormon Church except rumors spread by enemies of the religion. The most famous paper, the one he ordered destroyed and which ultimately lead to his death, was the Nauvoo Expositor. Of the Nauvoo Expositor, Joseph Smith wrote, "The proprietors were a set of unprincipled men, lawless, debouchees, counterfeiters, Bogus Makers, gamblers, peace disturbers, and that the grand object of said proprietors was to destroy our constitutional rights and chartered privileges; to overthrow all good and wholesome regulations in society; to strengthen themselves against the municipality; to fortify themselves against the church of which I am a member, and destroy all our religious rights and privileges, by libels, slanders, falsehoods, perjury & sticking at no corruption to accomplish their hellish purposes. and that said paper of itself was libelous of the deepest dye, and very injurious as a vehicle of defamation,-tending to corrupt the morals, and disturb the peace, tranquillity and happiness of the whole community."
