Allegedly Washed Up 45 flushed documents. |
Folks are fuming at Maggie Haberman for releasing a book detailing illegal activity from Washed Up 45 instead of reporting it to federal authorities.
The former president denies ever flushing documents in the toilet. Somehow, Haberman had obtained photos of a White House toilet with paper in the bowl.
On the paper were the names of two of the former president's closest allies.
Rep. Karen Stefanik (R-NY), the goofy upstate New York lawmaker who ousted Rep. Karen Cheney (R-WY) from leadership.
Rep. Karen Rogers (R-AL), a white nationalist from Anniston who constantly votes against civil rights.
The paper would clog up toilets and staffers constantly reminded him to not do it because it violates the federal records act. Under law, anything used or written by a president must kept in preservation for the National Archives.
Haberman released a pair of photos to corroborate reporting in her forthcoming book that White House staffers regularly found ripped-up printed paper clogging a toilet in the presidential residence during former president’s administration.
The photos, shared with Axios on Monday, reportedly show small pieces of paper in a toilet in the White House and another from an overseas trip.
“That Mr. Trump was discarding documents this way was not widely known within the West Wing, but some aides were aware of the habit, which he engaged in repeatedly,” Haberman told the outlet.
“You have to be pretty desperate to sell books if pictures of paper in a toilet bowl is part of your promotional plan,” a spokesperson for Washed Up 45 told Axios. “We know … there’s enough people willing to fabricate stories like this in order to impress the media class — a media class who is willing to run with anything, as long as it anti-Trump.”
The National Archives confirmed in January that some of the documents it received from the Washed Up 45 administration had been ripped up and taped back together.
Haberman has covered the former president for years, dating back to his time as a real estate mogul in New York City. Her new book on on the former president’s life debuts in October.
