Trump lawyers trying to block bombshell book on White House
President Trump is attempting to stop publication of a new book that paints a portrait of his White House as dysfunctional and incompetent, according to the Washington Post.
Trump’s lawyers have sent a cease-and-desist letter to author Michael Wolff and his publisher to inform them that they are looking at possible libel charges in connection to the book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” the report said.
The book is expected to be published next week.
The letter sent by lawyer Charles Harder demanded publisher Henry Holt and Co. “immediately cease and desist from any further publication, release or dissemination of the book” or exceprts and summaries of its contents, the newspaper reported.
They also want a copy of the book.
