You are our own legal analyst. can the president really stop the author of this new book from distributing the book and releasing it? >> we hopes to, but he is going to fail on more than one ground. he has two courses of action. he is trying to say its disparaging what has been said and he doesnt like what has been said. thats the standard. it has to be what was published was knowingly false or made in reckless disregard for the truth. the opinion cannot be a basis for a defamatory action. he ha...

>> reporter: the harshest words were directed at donald trump junior who responded on twitter steve had the honor of working at the white house and serving the country, he squandered that privilege and turn the opportunity into a nightmare of backstabbing, harassing, leaking, lying and undermining the president, steve is not a strategist, he is an opportunist. this book by author michael wolf is set for release next tuesday. we will see if this feud continues. we are told bannon was not kind to ...

Michael wolff captures in the book is the picture of the president in a separate bedroom from melania trump, unusual arrangement. sitting in his bed eating the cheeseburgerers. i have no problem with cheeseburgers in the bed and one thing i approve of the behavior as reported in the book and endless phone calls. again, we saw that. bill clinton used to do that, too. not the bed thing but the late night calls and trump does that. probably a lot of people who he had 26-minute phone calls with. the...

Late and also what is cell phone use going to matter when we all know now that michael wolff basically set up a card table, a little desk there in the west wing lobby because he had such access to the west wing, to the administration in order to write what were all talking about now and thats his book? >> and, jon, theres one passage in here about a phone call that michael wolff does not identify whos on the receiving end of this presidential phone call from donald trump but he know that is its ...

Bannon made previously where he called collusion with russia about this president a total farce. so i think i would look back at that. >> michael wolf also writes about steve bannons relationship with jared kushner. quote, bannon did all he could to rollover priebus and kushner in an effort to prosecute the war for trumpism, bannonism. kushner on one of the steepest learning curves in the history of politics and also exhibiting a painfully naivety was advocating doing nothing fast and everything...

They could have rejected wolffs request for interviews. >> sandra: as this news is breaking at first we had confirmed that the white house was asking for publication to actually stop of the book and now we learn that they are suing for the stopping of this publication. >> im not sure i blame the white house for suing when you have all the people that have supposedly been the sources in the book saying they didnt say that stuff. besides mr. bannon. i get their reason for saying this is slander of...

Lost to democratic doug jones. lets talk all about this. jonathan, good morning to you. thanks for joining us this morning. weve discussed some of this surprising things that have come out of michael wolfs book in interview with steve bannon. did anybody out there expect what we heard? >> well, its not surprise to anyone who has actually spoken to steve bannon. these are all the things he says privately. the surprise was he said it on the record. so the white house was prepared for the book to b...

This guy. also, the newspaper that published this story, the guardian, is the most left wing gossip press rag in the u.k. you can imagine so, no i remain loyal to the president. steve has to say whether or not he said these things. brian: he hasnt walked anything back, dr. gorka. he had plenty of opportunities. he said nice things on his radio show. all he had to do was tweet out what you just said and he didnt. it makes me think its accurate because he has been spotted in the office, michael wo...
