Yet such revelations raise a question: Why are these reporters only telling us these things now?

I'm not buying any of the tell all books. They really haven't disclosed anything in my opinion that the average person couldn't figure out on their own.

And shame on them all for not reporting it earlier.


The same question came up last year, when Woodward’s “Rage” made news for the author’s disclosure that Trump knew as early as February 2020 that the incipient coronavirus pandemic was “deadly” even as he publicly downplayed it. But critics questioned why Woodward — who learned this firsthand from his interviews with Trump in early 2020 — didn’t let the world know about this sooner. Woodward argued that his book’s mission was to present a more complete picture of Trump’s response to the pandemic. And that in addition, when Trump first shared his intel about the virus, he had no idea if Trump was telling the truth. (“Which is always a problem with Trump,” he said.)

Woodward is obviously lying since he had Trump on tape at the time.

That information was certainly newsworthy if he had the balls to release it at the time.
