NYT Article that LITERALLY IDENTIFIES ROSEN AS A SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL

The New York Times described the author of the anonymous op-ed as a "senior official in the Trump administration".

This July 27, 2018 article by Coral Davenport literally characterizes Jeffrey A. Rosen as a "senior administration official":

"Senior administration officials are clashing over President Trump’s plan to roll back a major environmental rule and let cars emit more tailpipe pollution"

The article goes on to talk about Rosen's involvement in the dispute and its delays:

"The proposal, which is to be jointly released by the E.P.A. and the Transportation Department, was largely completed in May. It was sent by both agencies to the White House for review, after which it was expected to be published in June or early July in the Federal Register, a major step in formalizing a new regulation."

It is interesting to compare this article to this passage in the anonymous op-ed, which talks about a recently exasperated administration official. Perhaps this is a reference to the dispute:

“There is literally no telling whether he might change his mind from one minute to the next,” a top official complained to me recently, exasperated by an Oval Office meeting at which the president flip-flopped on a major policy decision he’d made only a week earlier.
