In a joint statement, they \u2064labeled Wolff as a &#8220;disgraced author&#8221; known for fabricating stories, referencing his previous controversial book &#8220;Fire and Fury,&#8221; which sold over 2 million copies but\u200c faced accusations\u2062 of\u200b inaccuracies. The campaign members, including Trump&#8217;s co-campaign \u2064managers and other \u200ckey advisers, declared that\u2064 they would not\u2062 engage with\u200b Wolff\u2062 or respond to\u2064 his inquiries, urging others\u2062 to ignore any future publications from\u200d him. Wolff&#8217;s past works chronicled the\u200d tumultuous \u200devents of Trump&#8217;s presidency, and the campaign&#8217;s stance effectively limits his access to their team as he works on his upcoming book.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump campaign officials denounce Michael Wolff new book<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1885799\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Senior members of President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s campaign preemptively excoriated the author <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/michael-wolff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Michael Wolff<\/a>, who contacted them for interviews, in a joint statement released Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;A number of us have received inquiries from the disgraced author Michael Wolff, whose previous work can only be described as fiction,&rdquo; the signees wrote, which included Trump&rsquo;s co-campaign managers Chris LaCivita and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/susie-wiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Susie Wiles<\/a>, who is the incoming chief of staff.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3223892\/president-elect-donald-trump-cabinet-picks-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>TRUMP CABINET PICKS: WHO&rsquo;S BEEN TAPPED TO SERVE IN THE PRESIDENT-ELECT&rsquo;S ADMINISTRATION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He is a known peddler of fake news who routinely concocts situations, conversations, and conclusions that never happened,&rdquo; the statement continued. &ldquo;As a group, we have decided not to respond to his bad faith inquiries, and we encourage others to completely disregard whatever nonsense he eventually publishes. Consider this our blanket response to whatever he writes.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Wolff is a veteran journalist who covered Trump&rsquo;s first presidential administration and wrote the 2018 smash hit <em>Fire and Fury<\/em>, which sold at least 2 million copies and detailed the chaotic first years under a Trump White House.<\/p>\n<p>Wolff was accused of including factual inaccuracies and copy-editing mistakes in <em>Fire and Fury<\/em>, which he dismissed. &ldquo;My evidence is the book. Read the book. If it makes sense to you, if it strikes &mdash; if it rings true, it is true,&rdquo; he told MSNBC&rsquo;s Katy Tur at the time.<\/p>\n<p>His subsequent books, <em>Siege<\/em> in 2019&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Landslide<\/em> in 2021, also documented the Trump presidency era. As Wolff works on a new book, members of Trump&rsquo;s team appear to have blackballed the author from access.<\/p>\n<p>Among the signees of the joint statement are Steven Cheung, the incoming communications director, senior adviser Danielle Alvarez, James Blair, the incoming deputy chief of staff for legislative, political, and public affairs, and Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio. <\/p>\n<p>Taylor Budowich, incoming deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel, deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale, campaign speechwriter Vince Haley, senior adviser Brian Hughes, senior adviser Jason Miller, spokesman Tim Murtaugh,&nbsp;data consultant Tim Saler, Andrew Surabian, spokesman for Donald Trump Jr., and pollster Travis Tunis also signed on to the statement.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Wolff released audio tapes of the disgraced sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein allegedly describing his relationship with the president-elect. Wolff claims the tapes, released through the <em>Fire and Fury<\/em> podcast series, were created in 2017 and have about 100 hours of Epstein discussing the Trump White House.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3220757\/what-happens-donald-trump-president-elect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT TRUMP IS PRESIDENT-ELECT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In response to the tapes, Karoline Leavitt, the incoming White House press secretary, slammed the author as a noted liar.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Wolff is a disgraced writer who routinely fabricates lies in order to sell fiction books because he clearly has no morals or ethics,&rdquo; Leavitt said in a statement at the time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1885799\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1885799\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump campaign officials criticize Michael Wolff&#8217;s new book<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":2371181,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Author-and-journalist-Michael-Wolff.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2371180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Author-and-journalist-Michael-Wolff.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2371180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2371180"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2371180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2371183,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2371180\/revisions\/2371183"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2371181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2371180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2371180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2371180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
