BREAKING: White House Sends Cease-And-Desist Letter Seeking To Stop Publication Of Explosive Tell-All Book

The Hill reports:

President Trump is reportedly attempting to stop the publication of “Fire and Fury,” Michael Wolff’s explosive new book about his campaign and presidency.

The Washington Post’s Carol Leonnig tweeted early Thursday morning that Trump’s attorneys have sent a cease-and-desist letter to Wolff and book publisher Henry Holt & Company, demanding that they do not publish the book, and issue an apology to the president.

The book, scheduled to publish next week, has sparked a major feud between Trump and his former chief strategist Steve Bannon. Several excerpts published Wednesday revealed interviews with Bannon where he made incendiary comments about Trump and his family.

NEW this am: Trump attorneys send cease-and-desist letter this morning to Wolff and book publisher @HenryHolt demanding they stop publication and issue an apology to @realDonaldTrump for defamatory statements made thus far.
