WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 -- U.S. President Donald Trump continued his attacks Friday on an explosive book that portrays his administration as a dysfunctional, chaotic "Crazytown" and an anonymous op-ed blasting his presidency.
The book, titled "Fear: Trump in the White House," was authored by U.S. veteran investigative journalist Bob Woodward and is to be released next week, which has been under attack by Trump since its excerpts were made public earlier this week.
Speaking to reporters aboard the Air Force One, Trump called Woodward's book "a total fraud," a day after he said it "means nothing" and described it as "a work of fiction."
"I don't talk that way," said the president, adding that his aides who were quoted by Woodward, including White House chief of staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary, "totally disavow everything that they said in the book."
The book came as an anonymous op-ed in The New York Times by a senior Trump administration official who, as part of a so-called "resistance," has vowed to thwart parts of the president's agenda and "his worst inclinations," sparked another crisis for the White House.
The piece has also put Washington into a wild guessing game as to the identity of the author as top Trump administration officials lined up offering their denials.
Trump said Friday that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions "should be investigating who the author of that piece was because I really believe it's national security."
