At a party in the Hamptons this weekend, hosted by Lally Weymouth, the former owner of the Washington Post (and still a senior associate editor there) Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump rubbed elbows (or got snubbed) by a ton of journalists, and a who’s who of American political power and press.
Weymouth’s brother, former Washington Post publisher Don Graham, toasted Weymouth’s birthday on Monday and touted the upcoming Steven Spielberg film on the Post’s publication of the Pentagon Papers. Tom Hanks will play Ben Bradlee and Meryl Streep is publisher, and D.C. legend, Katherine Graham.
