There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.

Ms. Trentinella, who is an American citizen, and her husband benefit from the foreign earned income exclusion, in which the first $130,000 earned by Americans abroad (for the 2025 tax year) plus a portion of housing costs is exempt from U.S. taxation.
