Fmr. Atlantic Fact-Checker Had a Threesome

When asked how he got into the fact-checking business when he started his career in journalism at The Atlantic, Daniel Smith said, “That’s the lowliest job they give a journalist.”

Smith, an American Jew, is now a writer and author of the NYT Bestseller Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety. He read from his book at an appearance last night at Sixth and I Synagogue in downtown Washington. He raised eyebrows by reading a passage about a threesome he had with two older women when he was 16 (he now appears to be in his mid-30s).
