Bob Woodward’s forthcoming book, Fear: Trump in the White House, describes how John Dowd “was convinced that President Trump would commit perjury if he talked to special counsel Robert Mueller. So, on Jan. 27, the president’s then-personal attorney staged a practice session to try to make his point,” the Washington Post reports.
“In the White House residence, Dowd peppered Trump with questions about the Russia investigation, provoking stumbles, contradictions and lies until the president eventually lost his cool.”
Trump eventually erupted: “This thing’s a goddamn hoax. I don’t really want to testify.”
