Maggie Haberman Talks to David Remnick About Trump and the Gang War in the White House

The Political Scene | The New Yorker | Jul 24, 2017

Maggie Haberman covered Donald Trump years ago for the New York tabloids. Now, in the White House, she has a front-row seat to an Administration unlike any other— uniquely hostile to the media, publically, but uniquely open to leaking, in private. The dysfunction goes deep. “We are used to a team of rivals,” Haberman tells David Remnick. “We are not used to a team of the Bloods and Crips, which is essentially what this is, in the White House. These are rival gangs.”
