WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump paid a proxy to take a standardized college entrance exam for him when he was a high school student, his niece writes in a tell-all book scheduled to be published next week.

In the book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," Mary Trump writes that Trump paid someone to take the SAT, an entrance exam used by most U.S. universities, in his place, according to The New York Times.

"The high score the proxy earned for him, Ms. Trump adds, helped the young Mr. Trump to later gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school," reports the Times, citing a manuscript of the book.

White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway, when asked about the book on Tuesday, told reporters at the White House that it was a family matter.

"He's not her patient, he's her uncle," Conway said, apparently referring to Mary Trump's degree in clinical psychology. "I think family matters are family matters."

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Tuesday: "It's a book of falsehoods and that's about it."

The College Board, which administers the SAT test, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

they fail to use the word "allegedly" quite frequently in articles like these...
You only need to use "allegedly" when you're stating something unproven. When you're quoting what somebody else has said (or written, in this case) it's not necessary.
will you investigate Biden cognitive ability? lol
In terms of cognitive ability Biden beats Trump easily! Moral values Biden towers over Despot Trump.
Yours is difinately in question, while Biden was VP indeed.
Mary Trump a neice and clinical psychologist would have invaluable insight on Bunker Boy moral compass, inteelect and idiosyncrasies due to her close proximity and every voter should read and make their decision to vote accordingly.
What is your alternative? Biden? lol
Biden? that IS funny
Chairman Xi a baby diddling pederast who takes the cream of young boys onto his face to maintain the perfect moisture.

No it just goes to show more the fraud the pres is.
If that is what you care about on an investment forum you proved Options Trader's point.
Lies!! In fact he took the SAT blindfolded and not only passed the test but scored the greatest, highest, and unbelivable grade in the us history.
Dont forget, he had his hands tied behind his back and he used his mind to mark the correct answers! Lol!
Cult 45, come to lick it off, it is too bad here.

He cheated with Russia. Dude has been cheating all his life. even cheats on his wives...smh
you sound like a communist or a dictator trying to get rid of their political opponents
Wow...so Trump cheated to get into Wharton, the college he is always so proud of telling how smart he is.
you take a statement by a nobody trying to sell books as an irrefutable evidence of truth. not very smart
A family member is hardly a 'nobody'.
So now we get Trump vs. Biden: a Cheater vs. a Plagiarist.  Inspiring I tell you, very inspiring.
Thom Miller...where were you when pot smoking, draft dodging, serial affairs wife cheater Billy Clinton ran for office? Let he who is perfect, cast the first stone... but I will say they try so hard to dig up stuff on Trump.. I doubt it is even true.
It is not hard to find stuff about Trump's past even before his neice write this book, his bad misdeeds are well documented but it's his followers chose not to believe it or simply ignores it.
Let’s see here....Dr Donny paid some smart kid to take his SATs so Dr Donny could get into a college far above his intelligence level, then paid a doctor a substantial amount of money to say Dr Donny had bone spurs so bad, he couldn’t be drafted and sent to Vietnam, and then lied to his wife about several affairs. No, I don’t see a pattern here, do you?
He should've done what Sleepy Joe did: just Steal all his best lines from what other people wrote!
"hey lets pump out more unsubstantiated hit pieces against trump while completely ignoring all the videos and stories we have about biden with first hand evidence"

Trump cheating? Really?
I’m sure it will sell millions of copies and she will be rich. Without a lot of juicy trash in there who would buy it?
In the book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man,"...yes clearly a very unbiased source of information
50 cents says they start waving a copy of this book TONIGHT on PBS and MSNBC. Next up: "Proof At Long Last: It WAS Trump Who Shot JFK From the Grassy Knoll in Dallas!!!!!"
