Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said a “key” official in the Trump administration privately told him that the details in his books are “1000 percent true,” but later publicly defamed him.
Woodward was interviewed on The New York Time’s podcast, “The Daily,” on Tuesday — the day his book “Fear: Trump in the White House” was officially released.
Woodward told reporter Michael Schmidt that after excerpts of his book began circulating last week, someone working for the administration called him to praise the accuracy of his book.
“After the information in ‘Fear’ started breaking last week, one key person who’s in office called and said ‘Everyone knows what you said here is true. It’s 1,000-percent correct,’” Woodward said. “And then this person has said some public things that contradict that.”
Woodward declined to name the official and said he wasn’t pleased with the official’s public statement.
“And I’m not happy but I have a smile on face because the truth in all of this is going to emerge,” Woodward said. “There’s too much evidence, too many witnesses.”
President Trump and White House aides have rushed to condemn the book and undermine Woodward’s credibility in recent days.
Defense Secretary James Mattis, Chief of Staff John Kelly, ex-White House press secretary Rob Porter and former top economic adviser Gary Cohn all released statements criticizing the book.
Woodward has stood by his reporting despite the White House's response, saying on Sunday that Kelly and Mattis are "not telling the truth" in their denials.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dismissed the book as “reckless” during Monday’s press briefing.
“I think I would certainly rather take the actual on-record account from people who are here — who have been working in this building, who have interacted with the president day-in, day-out, like General Mattis, like General Kelly, like myself — and not disgruntled former employees that refuse to put their name on things when they come out to attack the president," Sanders said.
Woodward, who worked with reporter Carl Bernstein to break the news of the Nixon-era Watergate scandal, said the use of anonymous sources is necessary when covering presidential administrations.
He said The Washington Post reporting duo started using unnamed sources “because you can’t get the truth, you won’t get the straight story from someone if you do it on the record.”
Woodward, however, said that he did not agree with the phrase “anonymous sources.”
“Sources are not anonymous to me, I know exactly who they are,” Woodward said on the podcast. “So I think it’s — in a sense — the wrong phrase. They are deep-background or background sources.”
He said he understands the “skepticism” around unnamed sources but added that it would be nearly impossible for reporters to get certain documents and testimony on the record.
But was it a senior key official?

>> “Why not make it 1 Million percent?” <<
Next week!
Yehova will tap him on the shoulder and say “Thanks Bob!”
.
He means the hobo that lives on the park bench near the White House..Woodward is the one that wrote the letter to the New York Slimes..it reads just like something he would write..years from now he will come out and say “Yeah I wrote it, fooled all you guys”
.
>> “Omarosa” <<
Official “Harlot in Cheep!”
Woodward. Yale, naval intelligence for 5 years. Accepted to Harvard law but instead too a position at a CIA connected newspaper. Spoon fed the deep throat info by FBI Mark Felt (just a coincidence Woodward was chosen) in the coup to remove Nixon.
Now when the intelligence community is trying to remove Trump from office for their globalist masters, Woodward shows up with a book assisting them.
Woodward might as well wear a T-shirt that says “CIA operation Mockingbird”.
Woodward is a clown who’s been living off his Watergate fame for too long. What Nixon did in Watergate is peanuts compared to what the Deep State is doing against President Trump! Woodward knows that, but don’t expect him to “investigate” a damn thing since Democrats are involved.
Maybe it was this guy..
Ok then, with this evidence my skepticism and doubts about Bobby’s veracity have now been ended.
If I was Trump I would polygraphy 100% of the staff and some of them twice. As Barney Fife said, you gotta nip it in the bud...except this crap is in full flower.
If some higher up, anonymous, administration senior official states woodward’s anonymous administration senior official(s) sourced screed is 1000% correct, it must be so.
His book will be in the discount bin, along side Omarosa, in no time.
Plagiarizing from George McGovern, who stood behind Thomas Eagleton 1000%. Until he didn’t.
I wouldn’t and I would announce that I wasn’t because the book was clear fiction. And I would quietly lay some very careful traps in case I was wrong.
Well there’s no such thing as 1000 percent so there’s that....
What if..... Woodward had always been a cog in the Mockingbird/CIA gear, and since the Clowns are under new management, he is set up to do such over-the-top crap that he has become a useful idiot for the White Hats? This theory can’t be that farfetched.
The key Trump administration official doesn’t understand arithmetic.
Unnamed anonymous sources are divine sources of Ultimate Truth.
Woodward and his remarkable anonymous sources.
I’ve yet to read any of his books and that’s the truth!
