Trump Sent Ghostwriter a ‘Cease and Desist’ Letter

Tony Schwartz, the ghost writer of Donald Trump’s book The Art of the Deal, told NBC News that he received a “cease and desist” letter after speaking out against Trump:

Said Schwartz: “Yes, it is true. I got almost immediately that cease and desist letter delivered to me by FedEx.  And, you know, it’s nuts and completely indicative of who he is.  There is no basis in anything legal.”

He added: “This notion that I didn’t write the book is so preposterous. You know, I am not — I am not certain that Donald Trump read every word, but I’m sure certain that I wrote every word. And he made a few red marks on the manuscript and sent it back to me, and the rest was history. The idea that he would dispute that is part of why I felt I had to come forward. The notion that if he could lie about that he could lie about anything.”
