He seems very interested inyour relationship with the news media. I told him you were a hell of a guy:) One oddity: he said he hadbeen told that that quote from Trump about you in the original NY Mag story had been manufactured.ie, that I did not actually speak to Donald. Which is bull shit of course. I am sure that is what Trumptold him as they have been getting a lot of questions from reporters about you.He actually seemed to be a sensible guy/solid reporter -- just from the few conversations I had withhim. I think he is close to finishing up.Did you ever speak to him?Landon Thomas, Jr.Financial ReporterNew York Timeshttp://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/t/landon jr thomas/index.htmlHOUSE OVERSIGHT 032264
