NEW YORK (AP) - Rachel Maddow says that if people felt let down by her story about President Donald Trump's 2005 tax document it's more because of the weight of expectation than anything she did.

The MSNBC host found herself in the odd position Wednesday of defending herself from criticism following one of the biggest-ever scoops for her show.

Perhaps Madcow didn’t know it’s a felony to release someone’s tax returns (and the IRS had to leak this stuff).
