This journalist wasn't seeking Trumps return. He did not pursue a lead or meet a known source in an underground car park. It just miraculously appeared on his welcome mat one morning...
// It sounds unfathomable that a copy of President Donald Trump's coveted income tax return would suddenly appear in the mailbox at the Brighton home of a journalist.
But that is exactly what David Cay Johnston, a former New York Times reporter who won a Pulitzer Prize for his tax policy coverage and recently authored a best-selling book on Donald Trump’s rise, said happened.
Johnston recalled that he was in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday researching a new biography he's writing on the president when he received a text from his daughter urging him to check his email immediately.
"So I look at my email and it says, 'This came in the mail today,' and it’s a PDF she made of the tax returns sent to me," Johnston recalled.
The tax return arrived in a plain, No. 10 envelope at his home with a postmark from Westchester, New York. Johnston said he didn't know who sent it. //
