CT Insider: Lamont confirms forthcoming book on Trump
By Paul Schott, Ken Dixon
In their book to be published next month “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” authors Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns report that Trump essentially made governors including Lamont and Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland grovel for the emergency aid.
After Tropical Storm Isaias knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of Connecticut residents in August 2020, Gov. Ned Lamont was surprised when his call to the White House for disaster relief was returned a few hours later by President Donald Trump himself, according to a new book by a pair of New York Times reporters that describes the then-president’s unusual demand for thanks.
