Woodward planning audio book with Trump interviews
Renowned journalist Bob Woodward said in an interview on Wednesday that he intends to “put out an audio book” of never-before-heard interviews with former President Donald Trump. “I’m going through, now, nine hours of Trump interviews I did that were not published. We’re going to put out an audio book, Simon and Schuster, of nine hours of Trump that we have never heard before,” Woodward said during the interview on MSNBC highlighted by Grabien. “And you see who this man is, what he cares about, the self-focus, the abs

Monday, June 6, was the longest calendar day of 2022, the anniversary of Operation Overlord that helped free the European continent and a day when we thank the greatest generation.
