"This account of the fight, assembled through interviews with White House officials, senators of both parties, staff members, lawyers and others involved, some of whom did not want to be identified describing private moments"

You make a good point, if there were only 3 people in the room at that time. It's also possible that this is Trump approved leaking. He seems to be a natural at using the media.

Really good Fiction writers like Daniel Silva can’t weave a fantastic story with a ounce of truth. The NYTimes use to be careful about stretching facts, not anymore, they’ve became pure tabloid trash. I doubt anyone in the WH ignores the Presidents phone call. I see stacks of The NY Times all over NYC, don’t know why they keep printing the daily rag...

I call BS on this story. I remember Kavanaugh saying he wrote his testimony and only shared it with a former clerk for editing purposes. This testimony would not have been done in a few hours. It was finished before he left his house to go to the Senate building. Trump would never have conceded to the FBI supplemental prior to Kavanaugh testifying.
