Former Trump comms chief says ex-president 'terrified' of Maggie Haberman's book
Veteran NYT reporter had nearly unmatched access to former president for years

Ex-White House communications director Alyssa Farah said on Thursday that her former boss is terrified of the potential revelations that could come from an upcoming book on his presidency and campaigns.
The book, Confidence Man, is set to publish in October, authored by The New York Timess Maggie Haberman. Haberman is widely known for having the president himself as a frequent source over the years, and her access to the White House and Donald Trumps inner circle is nearly unmatched among the DC and New York reporting circles.
Ms Farah said on ABC that the revelations published in Axios on Thursday were only the tip of the iceberg. They included the reporting that Mr Trumps aides regularly found wadded-up printed paper in toilets they believed to be the result of Mr Trump trying to flush documents, as well as the revelation that the former president claims to remain in contact with North Koreas Kim Jong-un.
I still talk to some folks in Trumpworld, the ones who have not engaged in criminality," Ms Farah told co-hosts of The View on Thursday "The former president is terrified of Maggie Haberman's book. This is the first big anecdote, but there is quite a bit more to come."

to Trumps crimes given what she new but kept silent about until she could monetize his crimes in a book.

He complained about it multiple times also low flow showers, probably trying to wash off all the orange paint and hair color. Best not to try to picture that.
