WASHINGTON, D.C. — Then-president Donald Trump secretly sent coronavirus test kits to Vladimir Putin despite a shortage in the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic, and spoke multiple times with the Russian leader after leaving office, Bob Woodward says in an explosive new book.
The famed reporter's latest opus also chronicles some of President Joe Biden's own acknowledged missteps and his struggle to prevent escalation of conflict in the Middle East, including exasperation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over futile efforts to get Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire.
