Ted Kennedy's July 1969 car accident, the writer criticizes the storyline as 'character assassination'. The infamous Chappaquiddick incident involved the Democratic senator, who claimed he accidentally drove off of a bridge in Massachusetts, killing passenger Mary Jo Kopechne.
Burr claims that "I'll never know" what really happened the night Ted Kennedy drove off Chappaquiddick Island's Dike Road bridge and left Mary Jo Kopechne to die in his submerged car, "and neither will you."

Jason Clarke plunged into frigid waters, repeatedly, for his role as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy in "Chappaquiddick."

At age 28, two video producing buffs came across a shocking story about a young woman from the Wyoming Valley who was left to die in a submerged car that was driven by a man from one of the most powerful families in the world. They felt the "Chappaquiddick incident" in July 1969, which happened 15 years before they were born, was so interesting they decided to write a movie script - for the fun of it during nights after work.

Once Donald Trump is removed from office-either through term limits, a 2020 loss, a resignation or an impeachment-he and a right-wing ghostwriter will secure a big-money contract for his presidential memoirs. There will be a built-in audience for such a book-the still-loyal members of the MAGA crowd, the right-wing evangelicals who believe Trump is their second savior, the anti-Democratic Party ideologues who can't wait for Chappaquiddick to come out so that they can rejoice in the denigration of Ted Kennedy's legacy.

A new controversy has emerged about the tax reform bill - namely, how it will now benefit Trump's bottom line As the Republican tax reform bill winds its way through Congress, two new developments have taken center stage: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., won't be able to vote for the final measure, and President Donald Trump will be enriched by a new provision that was added to it.
