President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, calling her 'maggot' after she slammed him over the Iran war in an explosive interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

Haberman's reportage has been critical of Trump, and her author page has articles with headlines like 'Trump's Tangled Web of Deal-Making, Policy and Riches' and 'Trump Frees Fraudster Just Days Into Seven-Year Prison Sentence.'

Here are five things to know about Maggie Haberman:

Haberman was born in New York City to a longtime NYT journalist father and a media communications executive mother who worked for a client list of power New Yorkers, including Donald Trump.

She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and worked at the New York Post, New York Daily News, and Politico before joining NYT.

Haberman is of Jewish descent and is married to a New York Daily News reporter, with whom she has three children and lives in Brooklyn.

She was part of the team that won a Pulitzer in 2018 for reporting on Trump's advisers and their connections to Russia and was a Pulitzer finalist in 2021 for coverage of Trump's handling of the coronavirus.
