The White House on Monday labeled Bob Woodward “reckless” and “careless” after some administration officials refuted claims attributed to them in his new book “Fear: Trump in the White House,” ratcheting up its war of words with the Watergate reporter.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also didn’t rule out a lawsuit against Woodward.
“A number of people have come out and said Woodward never even reached out to corroborate statements attributed to them, which seems incredibly reckless for a book to make such outrageous claims to not even take the time to get a $10 fact-checker to call around and verify that some of these quotes happened,” Sanders said during Monday’s press briefing.
“When no effort was made it seems like a very careless and reckless way to write a book,” she added.
