The White House on Tuesday denounced a tell-all memoir by President Trump’s niece as a “book of falsehoods” that “obviously” wasn’t fact-checked before being rushed into print.
“It’s ridiculous, absurd allegations that have absolutely no bearing in truth,” Trump’s press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, told reporters.
“Have yet to see the book, but it is a book of falsehoods.”
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway also questioned the veracity of the claims reportedly leveled by Mary Trump in advance copies of “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” that were obtained by various news outlets.
“As for books generally, obviously they’re not fact-checked, nobody’s under oath,” Conway said.
Conway said that “family matters are family matters” and attacked Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, for “giving her opinion about somebody who is not her” patient.
Conway also noted Trump’s sister, former federal appeals judge Maryanne Trump Barry, had attended the president’s inauguration and that she and Trump “are in touch otherwise, they are siblings” — despite a claim in the book that Barry had harsh words for her brother’s candidacy.
