The author wasn't a senior Trump official.

Rumor is circulating it it McConnell’s wife- Elaine Cho - head of the Department of Transportation.

Hoax. That has been my take from Day One. Writing analysis said it was journalistic style throughout. Had nothing new; just the same old nonsense.

I stand by my contention that the nyt wrote the article, until proven wrong.

the author of this hit piece is at most a mid-level staffer. Indeed, if this character is actually employed in the Trump administration, it is almost certainly at a level of insignificance verging on invisibility.

Yep, like I said, it's one of the cook's.

“The formulation of our “Trump-insider” character was based on an amalgamation of noble personalities from the worlds of history, literature, and cinema. We created this character not to deceive or generate so-called “fake news”, but to initiate a dialog that is long overdue and necessary, as a matter of course, to address the very real crisis we face as a nation.”

[Larry - Moe and Curly]

What about Kellyanne’s husband? He hates Trump with a passion and could be feeding off Kellyanne’s comments when she comes home from work...

There was no senior official, The NY Times fabricated this story.
