basically fake news....
President Trump strongly criticized Bob Woodward's new book, "Fear: Trump in the White House," as "a total fraud," "work of fiction" and "totally discredited." But Woodward said he drew from hundreds of hours of interviews for his book, which is published by Simon & Schuster, a division of CBS. The book depicts a chaotic White House with details from participants and witnesses to the Trump administration.
Asked whether he would release any of the interview tapes, Woodward told "CBS This Morning" on Thursday: "Well, if somebody really wants to challenge me, of course. Of course. But I — again, I've made agreements with people that these sources are going to remain confidential."
Bob Woodward's "Fear" — some top takeaways In the book, Woodward described a "nervous breakdown" in the administration. In an interview with "CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O'Donnell, FBI Director Christopher Wray told her he has "not seen a 'nervous breakdown' of executive power."
"I have also not read Mr. Woodward's book, and I'm not sure whether I'll ever find time," Wray added.
Woodward responded to Wray, saying, "His experience is limited with Trump." Wray was confirmed as FBI director in August 2017.
"I spent over a year on this. I have literally hundreds of hours of tapes with people who were there. If you've looked at the book, they're very specific incidents. And it is a kind of — it opens the window," Woodward said.
Various Trump administration officials have come forward to deny certain accounts in the story, including White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary James Mattis. Woodward addressed the various push-back he's getting.
"Look, going back to the Nixon case, any of these books you're going to have what I call this 'survival denial' by somebody who wants to be politically connected with the president. And that's fine," Woodward said. "But as the great editor of the Washington Post, Ben Bradlee said, the truth emerges. And it does. And I've done this time and time again where you get denials. Oh, 'Nixon and Kissinger did not pray on the eve of Nixon's resignation.'"

I,for one, welcomes Bob’s release of the truth.
Put up or shut up.
Might be kind of fun, actually!
That depends if he has a real source. Bob Woodward is a fraud.
So let’s ‘strongly challenge’ him.
Well then, why doesn’t he just release them now?
How could he release them if he had promised them they were confidential.
I’d love for him to release them then we can find any traitors.
If he did that, he’d have to burn his sources, so I doubt he would. However, I feel zero sympathy for his sources, and I don’t care if he leaks the tapes. Trump will know who the traitors are, and we can get them out of the White House.
Well, it couldn’t possibly have been from the other “D” word. 😁
Has been.
I thought a couple people had already come out and said that Woodward lied about what he said about them in the book - how strongly do you have to be challenged, Bob....
Exactly!
I think all Bob's got are Omarosa tapes!
If strongly challenged but not if slightly or insincerely or just mildly challenged.
I’m sure he talked to people like Bannon,Christie,Cohn,Saramuchi, Omarossa and more. Very easy to take their flippant talking styles and write the book he was going to anyways. One day someone will clue me in on these people and their actions. Even the thought Obama people would have done something like this is out of this world. Even stranger is this happens over and over to a President that never looks good in any of this and then he reacts defensively.
