But at the very least this is an abuse of power. And from reports, it was Kushner who delivered the threat: apologize to the wounded Trumpster or the article would be published. That threatens loss of reputation and/or possible professional repercussions: loss of ratings and/or audience sort of thing. So, maybe extortion, too.

The Trumpster and his cabal are flailing in all directions. DT needs to take Uncle Vincente's suggestion: Quit.
