Trump is firmly denying allegations in veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s new book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his new book, Woodward claims the Republican presidential nominee has held multiple phone calls with Russian President\u00a0Vladimir Putin\u00a0since leaving office in January 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woodward also wrote in his book, \u2018War,\u2019 that Trump agreed to secretly send Putin COVID-19 testing equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Cheung, the communications director for the Trump campaign, told The Hill <\/a>in a statement that \u201cNone of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true,\u201d and said that Trump gave no access to the journalist for the latest book, as Trump had for past books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Cheung attacked Woodward\u2019s mental fitness in the statement saying he \u201csuffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson further pointed to Trump\u2019s lawsuit against Woodward, in which the former president seeking $50 million from the veteran journalist over his publication of tapes of interviews he conducted with Trump while he was in office between Dec. 2019 and Aug. 2020, which featured in the 2020 book \u2018Rage.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woodward wrote that according to Trump\u2019s aides, there have been as many as seven phone calls between Trump and Putin since Trump left the White House in 2021, according to CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woodward also cited Trump aide Jason Miller as not being aware of any calls between Trump and Putin, but added that President Biden\u2019s Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines did not conclusively rule out contacts between the Russian leader and the former president. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI would not purport to be aware of all contacts with Putin. I wouldn\u2019t purport to speak to what President Trump may or may not have done,\u201d Haines said, according to Woodward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
