President Donald Trump cheated on his SAT in high school, according to Mary Trump’s coming book.
In her tell-all, the president’s niece claims that he paid a proxy to take his SAT for him, according to The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the book.
Mary Trump wrote in her tell-all, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” set to be published next week.
The book said the score helped him get admitted to the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton business school, according to The Times.
Last year, Penn instituted a policy of revoking degrees if a graduate is found to have provided false information in an admission application, cheated on an exam, or tampered with records.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews denied the allegation that Trump cheated on his SAT.
“Mary Trump and her book’s publisher may claim to be acting in the public interest, but this book is clearly in the author’s own financial self-interest.
President Trump has been in office for over three years working on behalf of the American people – why speak out now?” Matthews wrote in an email to Insider.
“Also, the absurd SAT allegation is completely false.”
Trump studied at Fordham University for two years and then transferred to Penn’s Wharton School, after his older brother Fred Trump Jr. solicited the help of his longtime friend James Nolan, who was a Penn admissions officer at the time.
Nolan described in an interview with the Washington Post last July that it “was not very difficult” to get accepted to the school when Trump had applied as a transfer student in 1966.
Three of Trump’s children went to Penn, with Don Jr. graduating in 2000, Ivanka in 2004, and Tiffany in 2016.
