'Total sleazebag': Trump campaign lashes out at Bob Woodward over damning new revelations

Former President Donald Trump's campaign on Tuesday wasted no time in lashing out at legendary Watergate journalist Bob Woodward after he made a series of damning revelations about the former president in his forthcoming book.

CNN reported earlier in the day that Woodward's latest book, entitled "War," will reveal that Trump sent Russian President Vladimir Putin a secret stash of COVID-19 tests at the height of the deadly pandemic.

What's more, Woodward's sources claim that Trump has kept in frequent touch with Putin since leaving office, as one aide to Trump claimed the two men had talked on at least seven separate occasions.

But despite Woodward's reputation as a first-rate and deeply sourced reporter, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung suggested that he lied about every single piece of information in his new book.

"None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true and are the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome," said Cheung, who provided no evidence to back up his claims. "Woodward is an angry, little man and is clearly upset because President Trump is successfully suing him because of the unauthorized publishing of recordings he made previously."

Cheung went on to say Woodward had written a "trash book" that deserves to be "used as toilet tissue."

He concluded by labeling Woodward "a total sleazebag who has lost it mentally, and he's slow, lethargic, incompetent and overall a boring person with no personality."
