Hi Noah- I’m really looking forward to your year end lists. Question: in the Public Notice piece, you refer to Trumps crimes as “sexual improprieties.” This felt to me like holding back. Was that an editorial decision? It stood out to me and I hope it’s ok that I’m asking.

Pretty sure it was me! I think it seemed like the easiest way to summarize the range of abuses, and I said he was liable for assault and accused by 25 women elsewhere in the piece…idk. It’s always difficult to know the best way to characterize these things, and that may not have been the best approach there.

Thank you for your openness- I was just curious about the process. I can see how that would be tough one.
