Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said a “key” official in the Trump administration privately told him that the details in his books are “1,000 percent true,” but later publicly defamed him.

Woodward was interviewed on The New York Time’s podcast, “The Daily,” on Tuesday — the day his book “Fear: Trump in the White House” was officially released.

Woodward told reporter Michael Schmidt that after excerpts of his book began circulating last week, someone working for the administration called him to praise the accuracy of his book.

“After the information in ‘Fear’ started breaking last week, one key person who’s in office called and said ‘Everyone knows what you said here is true. It’s 1,000 percent correct,’” Woodward said. “And then this person has said some public things that contradict that.”

Woodward declined to name the official and said he wasn’t pleased with the official’s public statement.

“And I’m not happy but I have a smile on face because the truth in all of this is going to emerge,” Woodward said. “There’s too much evidence, too many witnesses.”
