Trump Campaign Denies Bob Woodward's Russia Accusations
The Facts
In his not-yet-released book, American journalist Bob Wood claims former US Pres. Donald Trump in 2020 secretly gave Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin COVID testing machines when they were still rare in the pandemic's early days. He alleges that Putin told Trump not "to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me."In his new book, American journalist Bob Wood claims former US Pres. Donald Trump in 2020 secretly gave Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin COVID testing machines when they were still rare in the pandemic's early days. He alleges that Putin told Trump not "to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me."
The book, citing one anonymous aide, also claims that Trump has held as many as seven phone calls with Putin since leaving office in 2021. Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung denied all the allegations.
The Spin
After all these years, Bob Woodward is still publishing the most outstanding reports with solid sources to back them up. Out of all the exciting and chilling revelations, however, is the difference between how Trump and Biden deal with Putin. While Trump secretly cozies up to the Russian dictator and gives him life-saving equipment, Biden clearly states that Putin is a threat to the world and needs to be dealt with.
Bob Woodward has never been a real journalist. Since the so-called Watergate scandal in the 70s, which we now know was likely linked to US intelligence agencies and their desire to kick then-Republican Pres. Richard Nixon out of office, Woodward has devoted his life to defaming politicians he doesn't like. Every book he's written about Trump follows the same pattern, and the American people deserve to know this before they spend money on it.
