Why did Trump agree to this in the first place is my question??

Bad advice. Trump excels at self-promotion. He probably thought he could get positive PR from cooperating with Woodward, the man who teamed with Al Haig, (AKA "Deep Throat") to bring down the Nixon presidency to benefit G. H. W. Bush's political ambitions. The timing of releasing anything that can be spun negatively right before the midterms and Trump's possible return as Speaker of the House is not an accident.

Actually, "Deep Throat" was a petty little bureaucrat named Mark Felt who was p*$$ed off that he had been passed over for promotion to director of the FBI.

While Haig might have been a statist POS, it was Felt's hurt feeling that motivated the entire Watergate fiasco.
