WATCH: Maggie Haberman Blasts Mark Meadows For Calling His Own Book ‘Fake News’

Mark Meadows new book, which was effusively praised by Donald Trump in October, contains a bombshell reveal about the former president. Trump’s former Chief of Staff alleged that the former president was sick with COVID while hosting an event for Gold Star families and during his debate with Joe Biden.

In an attempt to do damage control, the spineless Meadows appeared on Newsmax last night, saying his own book was fake news. During a morning spot on CNN Thursday, the New York Times Maggie Haberman blasted Meadows.

Haberman began, “I think Mark Meadows needs to make money, honestly. I think he has legal bills and they are not being paid by the former president. I think he got an advance — who knows how much it was. I think he is trying to sell a book.”

The New York Times reporter continued:

“I thought that was odd. What is confusing about watching this, particularly from what you showed from Newsmax, is [Meadows] is trying so hard to not offend the former president. He is trying so hard not to say things that are going to upset him. Yet describing — and I’m not saying Meadows did something wrong, it’s just a fact. We also know Trump considers covering him accurately to be covering him unfairly or in a way that he doesn’t like. The fact that he described how bad he looked — skin hue, dark circles under his eyes — certainly is true.”
