EXCLUSIVE: The president’s niece Mary Trump is set to publish a tell-all this summer—and to reveal that she was a primary source for The New York Times’ investigation into Trump’s taxes. thedailybeast.com/mary-trump-don…
The bad blood between Trump and his niece dates back 20 years, to when Trump cut off financial and medical support for her brother’s ill child. “My aunt and uncles should be ashamed of themselves,” Mary Trump said in 2000. “I'm sure they are not.” thedailybeast.com/mary-trump-don…
The most explosive portions of the book may have to do with Fred Trump Jr., who died at 42 from a heart attack due to complications from his alcoholism. The book is set to allege that Donald contributed to Fred Jr.'s death and neglected him at critical stages of his addiction.
In June of 2019, @LachCartwright reported how the NYT's Trump tax team imploded when Pulitzer Prize winner David Barstow went rogue, aggressively pursuing a source of their investigation to ghostwrite their book and secure a six-figure payday. thedailybeast.com/new-york-times…
At the time of publication, The Daily Beast did not name the source and took extensive measures to protect their identity. In the upcoming book, however, Mary Trump is set to out herself as a source for the Times. thedailybeast.com/mary-trump-don…
NYT won't comment to its own reporter about whether Mary Trump was a source for the paper. nytimes.com/2020/06/15/boo…
