On Wednesday, The Washington Post published another hard-hitting investigative report designed to diss Donald Trump and his family by detailing the claims of illegal immigrants formerly employed by the now-First Family. The Post’s latest Trump-disparaging piece was met with a blistering response from the White House, which called the report “fabricated tabloid trash” that is emphatically “not journalism.”

“It was important for Sandra Diaz to be invisible,” the Post’s lengthy hit-piece begins. “Before entering the Trump family villa, she would tie back her hair, pull on latex gloves and step into delicate paper shoe coverings. She knew not to wear makeup or perfume that might leave the faintest trace of her presence. As Donald Trump’s personal maid, Diaz was dealing with a fussy celebrity owner who presided like a monarch over the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster long before he was elevated to president.”
