Trump heaped praise on Bob Woodward during their interview earlier this year. Now that his highly critical book is out, Trump won’t admit their interview even exists
With the release of Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” President Donald Trump is not pleased. And he is raging that Woodward did not even bother to consult him.
“It’s just another bad book. He’s had a lot of credibility problems,” Trump said of the former Watergate reporter in an exclusive interview with the right-wing Daily Caller. “It’s just nasty stuff. I never spoke to him. Maybe I wasn’t given messages that he called.”
As a matter of fact, Trump did speak to Woodward, in a lengthy interview in April that was posted to YouTube.
