Mary Trump, the president’s niece, claims in a book due for release this month that President Donald Trump paid his friend Joe Shapiro to take the exam for him.
“To hedge his bets he enlisted Joe Shapiro, a smart kid with a reputation for being a good test taker, to take his SATs for him. That was much easier to pull off in the days before photo IDs and computerized records. Donald, who never lacked for funds, paid his buddy well,” Mary Trump wrote.
