Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steve Cheung, denied the book’s claims.
“None of these made-up stories by Bob Woodward are true and are the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a case of Trump derangement syndrome,” Cheung said in a statement.
Cheung added that Trump did not give Woodward access for this book. He also mentioned Trump already sued Woodward for publishing tapes from his conversations with Trump in 2022. That case is still ongoing.
