"An endorsement of Harris had been drafted by Post editorial page staffers but had yet to be published, according to two people who were briefed on the sequence of events and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

@Coctaanatis @ChrisPierson Not buying it. He's immensely wealthy. He could sell his stock tomorrow and never work again, and die a multi-billionaire. If anyone ever was untouchable it's him.
