New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman is getting dumped on for supposedly sitting on a big story that former President Donald Trump clogged White House toilets by trying to flush ripped-up pieces of paper.

It was a pretty big-ass scoop, one that many people felt that Haberman should have reported sooner rather than saving for her upcoming book, “Confidence Man,” according to the Independent.

Donald Trump Calls NY Times Reporter ‘Maggot’ Haberman

On Thursday, after the report that Trump allegedly clogged toilets with shredded pieces of paper, the former president denied any wrongdoing, referring to it as "another fake story." He went on to say that it is "categorically untrue and simply made up by a reporter in order to get publicity for a mostly fictitious book."

On Friday afternoon, the former president issued a statement in response to Haberman's upcoming book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America, which is expected to land on shelves in October. One excerpt from the book that was released this week said toilets in the White House were "periodically" clogged up as papers were being flushed during the Trump presidency.
