Journalist Maggie Haberman denies saving Trump toilet story for book: 'I'm not known for sitting on scoops'

New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman is pushing back against claims her latest scoop about former President Donald Trump was saved for an upcoming book.

Earlier this week, Axios revealed that Haberman in her forthcoming book about Trump titled Confidence Man reveals that while he was in office, White House staffers "periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet — and believed the president had flushed pieces of paper." The report quickly gained widespread attention, but it also sparked claims that Haberman sat on the piece of information for inclusion in the book rather than report it at the time. Activist and author Amy Siskind, for example, accused Haberman of "knowing Trump was *actually* destroying information" and "hiding that story before he ran for re-election" in order to "[profit] off a book deal."

On CNN's Inside Politics, Haberman addressed these claims, saying she only learned the details while doing additional reporting for her book after Trump left office.

"I did not know this was happening while he was president," she said. "I'm not known for sitting on scoops if I have information, number one. Number two, I found this out in the course of reporting for the book, well after Trump had left the White House."

She best be able to post and prove her “made up bull sh** fairy tale” I’m sure she has an iPhone and takes photo’s all the time so she should have some from this laughable tale...

These Liberal jackass’s do nothing but lie, and lie some more....Hope DJT sues her for this wild tale....and it is the bottom of the sewer they sink to..

Never in my life time did I heard such WILD FAIRY TALES.

Have you noticed the fabrications Dems come up with seem to entail bodily fluids, toilets, and kinky sex?
