Publisher Won’t Reprint Trump Biography Where Ivana Claims He Raped Her

 
By Tim Mak

More than two decades ago, Harry Hurt III wrote Donald Trump raped his then-wife Ivana based on her sworn deposition. Now, his publisher has decided the book is too hot to redistribute.

Donald Trump’s most hated biographer is back—and his book, now more than two decades old, is so controversial that his own publisher has deemed it too “dangerous” to reprint.

Harry Hurt III, the irascible, dogged writer behind Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump approached his former editor at publishing company W.W. Norton, Starling Lawrence, two months ago.

Hurt’s 23-year-old book reveals the bombshell that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana accused him of “rape” in a sworn deposition during their divorce, something she has since said she didn’t mean in the “criminal” sense.

Perhaps W.W. Norton could re-release the book to coincide with Trump’s presidential nomination, Hurt suggested. Lawrence asked him to write a new foreword to the book, but the publishing house’s lawyer viewed the book as too much of a risk.
