It’s frustrating to have my old interviews paywalled. Some facts about Maggie Haberman — now writing an Epstein book after ignoring the Epstein case for decades — from an interview I did in 2022:

“The people who are elevated are often products of nepotism or people whose own family members are in fact former employees of the Trump family or the Kushner family. Maggie Haberman’s mother worked for Rubenstein, the publicity firm that represented Trump, Kushner, Epstein, Rupert Murdoch, and so on. I try to judge her purely by her work, by her reporting, which I think is very bad in its own right. But it’s hard to separate that kind of background — those very personal ties, the fact that Roger Stone is a friend of the family and knows her children’s birthdays — from the reporting. I don’t know how you can remain objective in those circumstances, and it’s not brought up a lot.”
