Serge F. Kovaleski is an investigative reporter at The New York Times.[1] He was born in Cape Town, South Africa,[1] and graduated in 1984 from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, having majored in philosophy.[2] He contributed to reporting that won The New York Times a Pulitzer Prize for its investigation of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal.[2][3][4]

He has also worked for The Washington Post, the New York Daily News, Money magazine and The Miami News.[1]

Controversies

In November 2015, Donald Trump made the following remarks when alleging that Kovaleski was backing away from what he wrote in an article for The Washington Post a few days after the September 11 attacks:

"Now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy", Mr. Trump said, before jerking his arms around and holding his right hand at an angle. "'Ah, I don't know what I said! I don't remember!'"[5]

The remarks became controversial over the question of whether Trump was mocking Kovaleski's physical condition, as Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that involves contracture of the joints in his body and gives him a distinctive appearance. Trump later said that he could not have been mocking Kovaleski's disability[5] because he didn't know what Kovaleski looked like. Kovaleski responded, however, that he had been on a first-name basis with Trump and had had perhaps a dozen face-to-face encounters with him, including interviews and press conferences, while reporting on Trump's career in the late 1980s.[5][6]
