In 2007, Meredith McIver made another "mistake"

[A Perez]

This is what happened in a book jointly written by Mciver/Trump in 2007:

In a 2007 deposition, Mr. Trump was grilled over whether he had overstated his debt by billions of dollars in a couple of his co-written books to make his comeback seem more significant.

He acknowledged the exaggeration, but the mistake, he said, was not his. “This is somebody that wrote it, probably Meredith McIver,” Mr. Trump said.

Are these things made up by McIver or is she simply the fall girl for the Trumps when they make things up?
