International Desk: Legendary journalist Bob Woodward's new book 'War' has been published. The book reveals behind-the-scenes conversations about US President Joe Biden, US presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former US President Donald Trump. Bob is famous for his investigative journalism in the 'Watergate Scandal', which shook the history of the United States.
Bob wrote that Biden called Netanyahu a pig after Israel's war in Gaza escalated. Talking to an associate, he said, he is a bad guy. According to Woodward, Biden told advisers in the Oval Office after Russia's invasion of Ukraine that Putin was bad. We are dealing with a bad guy.
In the United States, there is a shortage of corona testing equipment. Among them, former President Trump sent the device for Putin's personal use. This process of sending the device has been implemented quite secretly. A new book claims so. However, Bob's claim has been rejected by the Trump campaign. Trump is running for the US presidential election in November. He wants to go back to the White House after winning the election for the Republican Party. Now there is a vigorous campaign.
In the book, Bob claimed that even after leaving the White House at the end of his presidency, Trump kept in secret contact with Putin. Experts in the US press said so. Trump's campaign says that all these allegations are 'fabricated stories'. There is no truth.
Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement to the BBC that President Trump had not given him (Bob) an opportunity for this six-page book. It will be in the fiction section of a bookstore with discounted books. Or will be used as toilet tissue.
Another book by Bob came out in 2021. The name is 'Rage'. Trump sued Bob over the book. According to the former president, Bob released several recordings of their conversations. He was not authorized to release these recordings. Bob denied it though.
According to the new book, an aide of the former president played a role in maintaining uninterrupted communication with Putin. However, his name has not been revealed.
According to a New York Times report, Bob's new book describes an incident. At the time, the former president was in his office at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. One of his aides was kicked out so he could talk to Putin on the phone without interruption.
The name of Trump's aide has not been released. However, he said Trump has spoken to Putin on the phone 'half a dozen times' since leaving office in 2021. But what they used to talk about is not mentioned in this book. News from CNN
