Here is the relevant part of the note, from the 10th page of the book's prologue:
"Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue. These conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book.
"Sometimes I have let the players offer their versions, in turn allowing the reader to judge them. In other instances I have, through a consistency in the accounts and through sources I have come to trust, settled on a version of events I believe to be true."

“Some of it might be true” seems to be the media’s mantra these days

I can be sure that parts of it are not true.

It is fake, but accurate. The sentiment is all that counts ya know.

Slander with malice and intent.
Should be a very easy lawsuit to win.

Sounds like a typical eBay listing.

What a bizarre note! Phew; maybe he’s the one who has a problem with truth and reality. How low can journalism fall?
To: COUNTrecount
This book is a rag — it is full of lies and yellow journalism and will be forgotten by Saturday. I am awaiting the law suit for malice before the end of the day as truthfully threatened. I trust this will not be another empty threat like the threat to Kim jung un for his repeated threats to the people of the United States. Need action here TODAY!!

Slander with malice and intent. Should be a very easy lawsuit to win. In the context of political speech and with Trump being an elected official, the chances of winning a defamation case is ZERO.

The author of the explosive new Trump book says he can't be sure if parts of it are true. Oh, OK. We should all appreciate his honesty. LOL.
This sounds like a public interest disclosure that should be run before every CNN segment.

The book is a ‘written script’ for the anti-Trump ‘media’ and actors to use as a hammer as we see they wasted no time doing.
That’s all it is. Designed for all the ‘sensation’ it was intended to create.
Unfortunately the public laps it up like candy.

But the book's author, Michael Wolff, says he can't be sure that all of it is true. For admitting this, he can be sure he'll be sued.
