According to the Washington Post, which has been given access to Woodward's manuscript, Putin gratefully accepted the covid test when he was terrified of falling ill with covid-19. He is also said to have urged Trump not to tell anyone that he had sent medical equipment to Russia. Trump is also said to have called Putin at least seven times from his vacation home in Florida after leaving the presidency.

Bob Woodward summarizes Trump's actions as "worse than Richard Nixon's" and writes that "Trump is the most impulsive and thoughtless president in American history. He demonstrates the same lack of character as a presidential candidate".

Bob Woodward is best known for, together with colleague Carl Bernstein, doing the journalistic work that led to the Watergate scandal and ultimately President Richard Nixon's resignation.

According to Donald Trump's spokesperson Steven Cheung, all the information in the book lacks any basis. He claims that Woodward is vengeful because Trump refused to give an interview and also says that the book "belongs on the shelves of a discount bookstore or is better used as toilet paper".

The book "War" will be released on October 15.
