Sources Keep Talking to Michael Wolff

May 28, 2019 · 6:15 pm ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “You might think that Michael Wolff, whose blockbuster Fire and Fury wasn’t exactly a glowing portrait of President Trump’s first year in the White House, might have burned so many bridges that a second insider book on the administration would have been an impossible task.”

“But it’s not as if the Trump team became more disciplined and tight-lipped in its second year. As Wolff explains in Siege, a number of the people who helped him on the first book have left the administration but are still in on the gossip loop, joining Wolff in what he calls ‘my train-wreck fascination with Trump — that certain knowledge that in the end he will destroy himself.'”

“There are salacious details in this book — many of which Trump’s critics will want to eat up — though with so many unnamed sources, Trump’s compulsion for hyperbole and Wolff’s own journalistic record, it’s hard to know which tidbits to trust.”
