Anonymous Senior US Official Writes 'Tell-All' Book

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - A "tell-all" book is to be released next month by a
   person described as an anonymous senior official of President Donald
   Trump's administration.

   The author is the same person who wrote an opinion article last year
   forThe New York Times, claiming to be part of a "resistance" against
   Trump inside the government, according to the book's publishing
   company.

   When contacted by VOA on Tuesday, the publicity director for Twelve
   Books, Paul Samuelson, declined to comment on whether the author
   remains in the Trump administration.

   The book, titled "A Warning,"is set for a Nov. 19 release and "provides
   an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency,"
   according to Grand Central Publishing, a division of the Hachette Book
   Group, which owns the boutique Twelve Books imprint that publishes only
   a dozen books every year.

   "Picking up from where those first words of warning left off, this
   explosive book offers a shocking, firsthand account of President Trump
   and his record," according to the publisher's statement.

   "The author will remain anonymous, their identity a secret," according
   to the publisher, which adds the author took no advance fee for writing
   the book and plans to donate a substantial portion of any royalties to
   nonprofit organizations "that focus on government accountability and on
   supporting those who stand up for truth in repressive countries around
   the world."
