The secretary of Theodore Roosevelt consulted with George Emlen Roosevelt and it is clear that Theodore Roosevelt would not grant an interview to journalist Pinci but Pinci was free to compile an article from Roosevelt’s speeches and writings. However, Pinci altered Theodore Roosevelt’s past speeches to make it appear that Pinci had conducted an interview. Harper’s has been contacted and told that no interview took place.
