for toilets is in fact in the news today. and as a series journalist it is my duty to tell you about it. according to the new york times reporter maggie haiberman, when donald trump was president, his staff used to periodically find wads of printed paper clogging the white house toilets. they believed president trump was purposefully attempting to flush pieces of paper down the toilet. the former president immediately poo-pooed these ideas reportedly saying he never put presidential records in a toilet which is definitely a thing that i cannot believe i just said on tv, but jennifer jacobs confirmed with her own sources, too, trump staffers were trying to fish clumped torn papers out of white house toilet and who knows maybe there is why the president was
