As Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie repeatedly questioned his credibility on Friday, Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff declared that he stood by “absolutely everything” in his Trump-trashing book. Despite that assertion, he later admitted to using deceptive tactics: “I certainly said what was ever necessary to get the story.”

Guthrie reiterated moments later that “the President is saying it’s full of lies” and that Wolff “didn’t have the access” he claimed to have.

She pressed: “Do you have recordings of some of these interviews and some of these conversations?...Would you release any of those recordings, since your credibility is being questioned?” Wolff sneered: “My credibility is being questioned by a man who has less credibility than perhaps anyone who has ever walked on Earth at this point.”

Wrapping up the exclusive sit-down, Guthrie pointed out: “Your former editor at Vanity Fair, Graydon Carter, said he wasn’t surprised you’d written this explosive book, he was surprised they let you in the door at the White House. Are you surprised?

As the Washington Post detailed on Wednesday, Wolff has a long history of getting facts wrong or even making things up.

"All of the beautiful fake news memes. So many of them. I couldn't just let them go without spinning them into a complete mythology and making money off of them! I interviewed 500 psychiatrists who all said Trump was a jibbering, jabbering incurable maniac just from his fright wig alone! They are calling me the popular press George Eliot!"

We all know the story has no merit. Obviously that's why Trump's lawyers are trying to stop the publication of the book and are threatening lawsuits. Makes perfect sense.


Trump has a long history of pursuing litigation against false stories written about him. I think he’s even won about half of them. Why should becoming the President stop this pattern?

Considering that Wolff has admitted to lying and making up shit in the book, how do yo-u know which parts are real and which parts are fabricated?

Since most of what trump says is fabricated does that mean a fabrication of a fabrication makes it truth?
