EXCERPT:

WOODWARD: "And in Trump’s mind, he knows the old adage, 'Once a CIA man, always a CIA man.' And no one came out and said those people shouldn’t be saying things. So then act two is the briefing when this dossier is put out. I – I’ve lived in this world for 45 years where you get things and people make allegations. That is a garbage document. It never should have been presented in – as part of an intelligence briefing. As you suggested, other channels have the White House Counsel give it to Trump’s incoming White House Counsel. So Trump’s right to be upset about that. And I think if you look at the real chronology and the nature of the battle here, those intelligence chiefs who were the best we’ve had, who were terrific and have done great work made a mistake here. And when people make mistakes, they should apologize."
