Woodward says CNN reporter urged him to release Trump tapes
NEW YORK – Bob Woodward says he hadn't planned on releasing audio tapes of his interviews with President Donald Trump for his book “Rage” until CNN reporter Jamie Gangel and the author's wife convinced him.That turned out to make a huge difference in the book's reception and impact, the veteran author and chronicler of presidential administrations said at an online conference hosted by CNN on Tuesday.“It's not the same as it is on the page,” Woodward said. “The microphone really is a microscope.”Gangel worked in tandem with Elsa Walsh, herself an accomplished reporter who helps edit her husband's books, to encourage release of the tapes.
