She said her employer promised to foot the bill during the COVID-19 pandemic. The <em>Times<\/em>, however, said the 33-year-old forged many of the receipts she submitted. The paper confirmed to the <em>Post<\/em> it let Asbie go Wednesday following a five-month investigation.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden met Asbie during the Democratic primary when he visited the <em>Times<\/em>\u2018s Manhattan office in an attempt to earn the endorsement of the paper&#8217;s editorial board.
