Here is an interesting twist on my Iris Weinshall dig. I still haven't found any proof of life before (she?) married Chuck Shumer but I found this lawsuit. It looks like Weinshall has been trying to control the Media for a very long time, her daughter is now editor at Facebook.
UHLFELDER v. WEINSHALL

It looks like Donald Trump and Chuck Shumer's wife (Iris Weinshall) go way back. In 1983 she was appointed Vice President for Economic Development (after her predecessor was fired) in New York. Starting pay was 50000 a year, not bad for a 27 year old.

It seems like Donald Trump was having trouble getting his development plans approved around the same time. Iris' boss William J Stern didn't like Trump very much.
