Mensch denied using the bogus information and said her allegations about Trump’s model agency came from her own sources. She shared details of her hoax on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation from followers of Taylor and Mensch. He quoted a “NYAG Schneiderman source” as having told him: “I am aware of at least one sealed indictment targeting multiple Trump Organization Principals”. After being asked by a follower for more information, Taylor claimed to know even more than the hoaxer had told him. The following day, claiming to have “more from Schneiderman source,” Taylor posted a series of tweets giving details about the number of people supposedly being targeted by the inquiries.
