The White House - under fire over damaging claims contained in a new publication - has hit out at the author, claiming he “made up a lot of stories to try and sell books”.
The administration has for several days been defending itself against allegations made by Donald Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon, who suggested the President’s son holding of a meeting with a Russian lawyer was “treasonous”, that his daughter was “dumb as brick” and that Mr Trump contained no “brain trust”. Mr Trump has responded by saying Mr Bannon had lost his mind.
The White House has also tried to shoot the messenger, claiming Michael Wolff, the author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, is unreliable. “This is a guy who made up a lot of stories to try and sell books,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News.
Fire and Fury is #1 on Amazon.
