This a lot is backed up by Mary herself, who instructed Each day Beast editor Molly Jong-Quick final yr that Instances reporter Susanne Craig “successfully and tenaciously” talked her into handing over the information. “I knocked on Mary Trump’s door. She opened it. I believe they name that journalism,” Craig responded on Tuesday.
