Wolff’s new book, which chronicles President Trump’s first year in office, garnered a slew of headlines in the past week as excerpts from the book began to surface that painted a picture of a White House dominated by chaos, incompetence and backstabbing.

Trump’s lawyers attempted to block the publication of “Fire and Fury”, sending a cease and desist to publisher Henry Holt and Company. The publisher responded by accelerating the book’s release date.
