- Long-time Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward says he’s planning to release a new audiobook.
- He says the book will include “9 hours of Trump that we have never heard before.”
- His previous books about Trump and other presidents have often revealed new, sometimes shocking details.
Long-time Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said on Tuesday that he plans to release a new audiobook based on 9 hours of a never-before-heard interviews with former President Donald Trump.
“I’m going through, now, nine hours of Trump interviews I did, that were not published, we’re going to put out an audio book, Simon & Schuster, of 9 hours of Trump that we have never heard before,” Woodward said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
“You see who this man is, what he cares about, the self-focus, the absence of being concerned about the people out there,” he also said. “This is while he was president in 2020. All this, it is an amazing portrait of a man.”
Woodward noted the forthcoming audiobook in an interview focused primarily on upcoming hearings scheduled by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, the first of which will take place on Thursday.
Woodward has written biographies of every president since George H.W Bush. This would be Woodward’s fourth book about the Trump administration, following “Fear: Trump in the White House” in 2018, “Rage” in 2020, and “Peril” in 2021.
Most recently, Woodward’s “Peril” revealed several new details about the inner workings of the Trump White House.
That included Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley’s call to Chinese leaders to reassure them about Trump’s erratic behavior, Milley’s belief that Trump had “gone into serious mental decline” following the 2020 presidential election, former CIA director Gina Haspel belief that the US was “on the way to a right-wing coup” after Trump’s election loss, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan’s intensive studying about how to deal with people with narcissistic personality disorder after Trump’s surprise 2016 election victory.
