The mystery over whether Donald Trump Jr’s new book deserved its place at No 1 in the New York Times bestseller list has deepened after it emerged that the Republican National Committee (RNC) spent $94,800 (£74,000) on a bulk order of the book a week before it was released. According to reports in the New York Times, a financial disclosure form filed to the Federal Election Commission showed a 29 October payment for $94,800 to the bookseller Books-A-Million.
This is not the first time claims have been made about sales of Trump Jr’s book being inflated. The New York Times bestseller list marks books with a dagger if retailers report there have been bulk sales, which it did for Triggered. When it topped the chart, it was the only book in the top 10 list to feature the dagger.
