💻 Code

// file.cjs
const { readFile } = require('node:fs')

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "checkJs": true,
    "module": "preserve",
    "noEmit": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "target": "esnext",
    "types": ["node"],
    "verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

When verbatimModuleSyntax is enabled and module is set to preserve, TypeScript disallows destructuring of a required module in CommonJS JavaScript.
