Woodward on Leaked Calls: Joe, Mika This Is the Trump You’ve Dealt with for Years

EXCERPT:

WOODWARD: "I know Greg Miller. He’s one of the great reporters. There is a process which he described which is very important to understand. Going to the White House, going to the government, there’s nothing classified in these transcripts. I read them three times, and I think you can argue that it shows Trump negotiating. This is New York real estate negotiation where you say, 'Hey, look, if I do it your way, I’m going to look like a dope.' So it’s not unreasonable that the White House would want these out, but the job of the newspaper here, which I think was done in a very orderly, responsible way, is get it, verify it, make sure there’s nothing classified, nothing in here that’s going to get somebody killed, and put it out. And it’s fascinating reading, because Joe and Mika, this is the Donald Trump you have dealt with for years."
