From a Washington Post Book World column by Kyle Pope headlined “Martin Baron recounts leading The Washington Post during the Trump era”:
Five months into Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, in June 2017, the president met secretly with the brain trust of The Washington Post — Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner; Fred Ryan, its publisher; Fred Hiatt, the editorial page editor; and Martin Baron, the executive editor. Bezos was driven to the White House in a black SUV with tinted windows, to keep from being spotted by the press. Baron kept his own reporting staff in the dark about the dinner meeting and what was discussed.
