Confronted with multiple errors in his new Trump book, a testy Michael Wolff says 'you have to trust me' by Isikoff
After portraying himself as a reliable chronicler of Donald Trump’s White House, author Michael Wolff is taking a page from the president when confronted with the multiple factual errors in his new book, “Siege: Trump Under Fire.”
But talking about his new book, Wolff stuck to the same no-apologies, no-retreat line about a host of other more consequential errors and questionable claims, including his sensational assertion that he has copies of a March 2018 draft indictment of Trump prepared by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office charging the president with three counts of obstruction of justice.
“Maybe not draft indictments, maybe not this, I don’t know,” Wolff said when asked about the odd wording on his claimed indictment. “All I am doing is quoting from two things — a document given to me by an incredibly authoritative source, and that two, on the face of it, that is incredibly convincing.”
· Wolff wrote that Don McGahn, Trump’s pick for White House counsel, had never worked “anywhere in government.” In fact, McGahn had served as chair and vice chair of the Federal Election Commission, during a five-year stint with the agency.· Wolff wrote that former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler had been the “previous occupant” of McGahan’ office.
