New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman revealed the mood inside the White House amid President Donald Trump's frustration.

During a Thursday appearance on CNN, Haberman was asked about the White House environment as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrapped up her final day. CNN anchor Laura Coates noted that the second Trump administration isn't seeing as much turnover as the first, but she expects "a lot of midterm anxiety" in the White House right now.

"What's the morale like right now in the West Wing?" Coates asked Haberman....

President Donald Trump's team didn't expect him to agree to an interview with his former fixer turned foe Michael Cohen, a White House reporter shared.

During a Thursday appearance on CNN, Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times, revealed that Cohen had a reputation in Trump's circle of being unforgivable, which is why insiders were caught off guard when the president signed on for a 40-minute interview with him.

"Trump really never closes the door on almost anyone entirely. Actually, I always said — and others in Trump's world, who would say too when having this conversation — was except for Michael Cohen," Haberman said. "That was because most people believed around Trump that there was just no way that Trump was ever going to get past that trial in 2024."...

New York Times White House reporter Maggie Haberman said President Donald Trump hopes to play his reunion with his fixer to his advantage.

Michael Cohen announced he would interview Trump on his podcast, despite their fallout in 2018. During an interview on CNN on Thursday, Haberman said Cohen's interview with Trump isn't as surprising on its face, given how it could play to the president's advantage.

In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to eight criminal counts and implicated Trump in a scheme to silence women who claimed affairs with him during the 2016 campaign. Haberman noted that Trump is appealing his conviction in that case after he was found guilty by a jury on 34 felony counts in 2024....

Devoted aide Natalie Harp is President Donald Trump's channel to the outside world and even texts world leaders on his behalf, a veteran Trump reporter revealed on Wednesday.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman revealed the details of Harp's role during an appearance on CNN. Haberman wrote about Harp's role in the Trump administration in a Wednesday article for The Times, as well as in the book she co-authored, Regime Change.

"She is not the White House Staff Secretary, which is supposed to be the last step for paper flow. She's not the Press Secretary from whom certain media requests are supposed to come. She is a channel by which foreign leaders try to reach him if they can't some other way," Haberman said. "She has a channel by which he reaches people he sees on television who he likes."...

New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman brushed off Trump's twin tirades on Truth Social by boosting the sold-out book he scolded.

In a post on X on Saturday, Haberman broke her silence after Trump posted two lengthy posts complaining about her book Regime Change, which she co-wrote with fellow New York Times journalist Jonathan Swan.

Trump complained that Haberman and Swan's book didn't congratulate him for doing a "great job!" and instead included embarrassing scenes from his second administration. Haberman simply pointed out that her book is sold out and publishers plan to restock copies....

Trump bawled in a lengthy Truth Social post that journalist Maggie Haberman's latest book didn't praise him enough.

Haberman and fellow New York Times journalist Jonathan Swan co-wrote the book Regime Change, which details the second Trump administration. It features scenes like Trump supergluing gold Fabergés in the Oval Office, his cabinet freaking out over the Epstein files, and how his White House bedroom was littered with fast food wrappers.

In his Saturday Truth Social post, Trump lamented that "there's no, 'Gee, he won, he did a great job!' There's no saying, 'Maybe we were wrong about him, the people were right' or, maybe, 'Congratulations, we wish you Great Success for our Country!'" He ended the post with a long string of all-caps sentences....
