May want to keep the secondaries. 93 question erin fox5 d. C. On twitter. Back to you guys. Thanks erin. Lets check the morning briefing now. First up, weve got new details about the department of justice investigation into the trump campaigns possible russia ties. New york times reports President Trump directed his wife House Counsel to you were attorney general Jeff Sessions to not cree recuse himself from the probe. Article cites anonymous source that says sessions reject the the suggestion before he recused himself it allowed revelations that sessions had spoken in 2016 with the russian ambassador. Big story this morning, though, that bombshell book by white house insider is now out. Its called fire and fury, and its written by Robert Michael wolff he move up the release date despite himself. Bob barnard is back now at kramer books in dupont circle. That book sold out in minutes, right, bob . Reporter thats right. The book officially went on sale at midnight kramer books opened a 1 00 in the morning by the time they shut their doors at 1 00 oclock this morning, kramer books was sold out of fire and fury. This is the new non fiction section. Lots of books you can find about president s, former president s but not this particular one. And Michael Wolff. Author was on morning news this morning and he basically says despite the threats from the white house, claims from the president that he never spoke to Michael Wolff, that everything in the book he stands behind. Sales of fire and fury were brisk. Folks here in washington bracing the frigid temperatures to line up at midnight to plunk down about 30 bucks for a copy of the book that has raised the ire of the white house. Im not going to waste my time for the countrys time going page by page talking about a book and just full of tabloid gossip because its sad, pathetic. Reporter garnering the most attention statements from the president s former chief strategist steve bannon who said among other things that meeting that donald trump, jr. , had with russian lawyer during the campaign was treason us in l did steve bannon you. He call me a great man last night. Obviously changed his tune pretty quick. I dont talk to him. Thats just a misnomer. Reporter some things that the book seems untrue like a claim that trump didnt know who former speaker of the house john boehner was despite mentioning him on several occasions and even playing golf together. But theres also a narrative in these pages that mentally trump isnt all there. After all the allegations in this book, donald trump needs to give a real interview or hold Real Press Conference or do something soon to demonstrate to voters that the allegations in this book that he is dottie or senile or incompetent are untrue. He needs to get outan stick. Reporter tweet the president put out late last night saying the book phony, that he never gave access to author Michael Wolff to the white house you see in the bottom he calls steve bannon sloppy steve. Again, Michael Wolff on television this morning saying he spent about three hours speaking with the president and that the president had authorized his aids and advisers to speak with Michael Wolff1 of things steve bannon said in the book was that ivanka trump is dumb like a brick and also said that the russia investigation has created a category five hurricane inside the white house. Those are the things obviously upsetting the president. And again, he and his lawyers threatening the publisher to stop publication which was supposed to be next week. They moved up to today. Again, there are a lot books about donald trump here at kramer books. Fire and fury, guys, though is sold out at least here for now. Bob, this morning when Michael Wolff was big thing has been as far as his defense and holly you watched the interview, too. He stands by his writings 100 . But also all of this talk about the tapes that he supposedly has to back all of this up. Whats the validity there . Reporter well, he says hes got dozens of hours of audio tapes. He didnt say whether he actually recorded the president while he was speaking to the president but with other key advisers and one of the things that Michael Wolff says and he said hell provide those awed toe yo tapes if it comes to this. One of things he said on tv, of all the people that he has spoken to, the one recurring theme about donald trump is that hes like a child in charge at the white house. All right. Certainly a big story arc big talker an big seller. Absolutely. Bob barnard, thanks very. Kramer book sell out in one hour. Amazon we check this morning the bob is available but it says one to two months expected shipping. Wow thats where the demand is right now. 9 12.
