Of all the small print about Donald Trump in Maggie Haberman’s new guide “Confidence Man,” the New York Instances reporter stated the previous president was most riled by her reporting that he tore up and flushed papers down White Home bogs.
“I feel that was what upset him probably the most,” Haberman informed Stephen Colbert on Tuesday’s broadcast of “The Late Present.”
“He had an instantaneous and pronounced and indignant response to that reporting after I put it out many months in the past,” she continued. “He issued a press release, it was a telephone name to the world, and I feel his actual assertion was, his query was, ‘Who would know that?’ Which I feel was truly a literal query that he was asking, however he requested it out loud.”
Trump in response to the story “spent a while asking his aides, ‘What do you consider that reporting?’” Haberman added. “Often that’s as a result of he’s attempting to determine whether or not one thing is damaging to him or not or how rather more might be there.”
When Haberman initially broke the information, Trump denied the declare. The reporter later tweeted images of papers, with what gave the impression to be Trump’s handwriting on them, clogging up rest room bowls.
