https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_Haberman
Haberman was born on October 30, 1973, in New York City, the daughter of Clyde Haberman, who became a longtime journalist for The New York Times, and Nancy Haberman (née Spies), a media communications executive at Rubenstein Associates. At that firm, a "publicity powerhouse" whose eponymous founder has been called "the dean of damage control" by Rudy Giuliani, Haberman's mother has done work for a client list of influential New Yorkers including Donald Trump.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_J._Rubenstein
Rubenstein was the president and founder of Rubenstein Associates, which has been described as the most influential public relations organization in New York City. It has two affiliates: Rubenstein Public Relations and Rubenstein Communications, Inc. The firm was founded in 1954. His more notable clients included many of New York's iconic organizations including: the New York Yankees, News Corporation, Columbia University, New York Philharmonic, Rupert Murdoch since 1976, both Fred Trump and Donald Trump since 1973, and the Metropolitan Opera.


You want to know how That Howler Monkey stayed out of jail all these years? The whole social circle that the Haberman family is part of.

Judy A. Smith is the American attorney, crisis manager and founder, president and CEO of Smith and Company. She is the muse whom the character Olivia Pope is based on, with her work in crisis management being the inspiration for the ABC television series, Scandal. She also served as a co-executive producer on the show.
