MAGGIE DURANTY (Haberman)
Nancy Haberman, Maggies mother, works for the PR firm, Rubenstein, which was founded by Howard Rubenstein a PR legend, who was once called the dean of damage control by Rudy Giuliani.
At Rubenstein, Nancy Haberman is no coffee girl. Her bio lists her as Executive Vice President, and gives her history as "Rubenstein, Home with kids for six years, Harper and Row Publishers, New York Post." Later in her bio, it states, "Has a family of journalists. And the kids she was home with now have kids of their own." Nancys area of expertise: "Traditional media, i.e. print, radio, and broadcast. Big emphasis on New York media. General interest stories, medical, breaking news, nonprofits, education
Lends media support to other peoples clients with her relationships established over 30 years."
Although Nancy claims shes never met Donald Trump, she has admitted to doing PR for him (because, it would be impossible to deny).
As for her PR firms history with Trump? Well, thats a deeper dive.
Howard Rubensteins work history with the Trump family began early with Fred Trump. Then in 1990, when Donald and Ivana were going through their divorce, Rubenstein took on Donalds personal PR doing the dirty work of spinning that nasty mess into something that wouldnt tarnish Donalds name and brand irreparably. Because thats the real nature of PR, isn't it? The Brand.
