Trump swooped in to profit from White House photographer’s book deal – report

Ex-president blocked Shealah Craighead plan and then made up to $20m from publishing images in own memoir, New York Times says

Donald Trump blocked plans by his chief White House photographer to publish a book of pictures of his time in power - then published a book of such images himself, the New York Times reported.

One former White House photographer told the Times that by using Shealah Craighead's images for his own profit - with books selling for as much as $230, Trump is reported to have made $20m - the former president had dealt her a slap in the face".
