When Covid-19 tests were scarce, Donald Trump allegedly discreetly shipped them to Vladimir Putin for his own use, according to a new book by seasoned Watergate writer Bob Woodward. The Trump campaign fiercely denied this accusation.
Excerpts from the book War-cited by US media also purport that Trump has had covert contact with Putin ever since he left office.
According to the Trump team, none of these "made-up stories" were real.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told the BBC that "President Trump gave him absolutely no access for this trash book that either belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section of a discount bookstore or used as toilet tissue."


Woodward, who became well-known for his
relied on access to high-level sources to write many best-selling books and play a key part in the investigation of the Watergate crisis that ultimately brought down Richard Nixon's administration.
A spokesman for the Trump campaign described Woodward as "demented" and "deranged," adding, "Woodward is an angry little man and is clearly upset because President Trump is successfully suing him because of the unauthorized publishing of recordings he made previously."
Trump and Woodward had previously discussed the journalist's book, Rage, which comes out in 2021. Later on, he sued him for it, alleging that Woodward had no right to publish the recordings of their interviews—an accusation the author refuted.
According to the new book, one Trump aide—who is not mentioned in the book—is responsible for the former president and Putin's ongoing conversations.
As stated in a report According to the New York Times, one incident in the book shows how a Trump assistant was told to leave the former president's Mar-a-Lago office so he could speak with Putin.
Since Trump departed the White House in 2021, the two may have spoken six or seven times, according to the unidentified aide.
What they discussed is not mentioned in the book, although it mentions a Trump campaign official who questions the veracity of the alleged conversation.
Woodward claims that during the previous president's administration, Trump "secretly sent Putin a bunch of Abbott Point of Care Covid test machines for his personal use."
The American media's version of Woodward's book said that Putin was afraid of contracting the virus.
The According to the source, Putin requested that Trump keep the fact that he had sent him the tests a secret out of concern for Trump's reputation.
Putin allegedly said Trump, "I don't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me," according to the book that the Times cited.
Trump allegedly declared, "I don't care." Alright.
Just a few weeks before the election on November 5, the allegations have raised fresh concerns regarding the relationship between Trump and Putin.
The former president had previously been charged with conspiring with Russia to rig US elections; but, the Department of Justice's investigation produced no proof of this and did not determine if Trump had impeded the investigation.
The tome also looks at the extended shadow that Trump has cast over the previous four years' overseas wars and the acrimonious US political climate in which they have occurred, according to the Washington Post.


It also features President Joe Biden's unvarnished evaluations of his own errors, such as his choice to appoint Merrick Garland as attorney general.
The president told an associate that he "should never have picked Garland" in response to his son Hunter being prosecuted by a special prosecutor appointed by Garland, according to the Post.
