Trump throws tantrum at Woodward: He published ‘work of fiction’ to derail Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings
President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused author Bob Woodward of releasing a tell-all White House book in order to derail confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Trump was asked about Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump in the White House,” during a pool spray at the White House.
According to tweets from reporters who were in the room, Trump called Woodward’s book a “work of fiction” and said that it was designed to interfere with Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
“We run a strong White House, no doubt about it,” the president was quoted as saying.

Pres. Trump on new Bob Woodward book: "The book means nothing. It's a work of fiction."
"If you look back at Woodward's past, he had the same problem with other presidents. He likes to get publicity, sell some books."https://t.co/KObPKNTWYm pic.twitter.com/AArcpkj4x7
