Trump says new book on his administration ‘full of lies’

WASHINGTON, Jan 5, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump on Thursday
dismissed an upcoming book on his campaign and administration as “full of
lies” and invented sources, after unsuccessfully attempting to block its
release.

“I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many
times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies,
misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist,” Trump tweeted in reference
to Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”

“Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!”
Trump wrote, an apparent reference to Steve Bannon, his former chief
strategist.

The book quotes key Trump aides, including Bannon, expressing serious doubt
about his fitness for office.

After Trump instructed his lawyers to prevent the release of the book, the
publishers responded by moving the release date up by four days to Friday.
