states that since "the booked admits in the introduction that it contains untrue statements that it's not going to be difficult for him to prove actual malice, which is reckless disregard for the truth." now, that introduction by michael wolff does state that "many of the accounts of what has happened in the trump white house are in conflict with one other. many in trumpian fashion are baldly untrue. those conflicts and that looseness with the truth if not with reality itself are an elemental thread of the book." and this is the fundamental problem with this threat of a lawsuit. if malice can be proven for wolff, it can also be proven for president trump and all the president's men and women. my panel is back with me. the white house is hammering the author, michael wolff, going after inaccuracies in the book. i want you to listen to the deputy white house press secretary hogan gidley speaking on cnn tonight. >> this author is quite frankly a crackpot fake news fantasy fiction writer and it's been proven time and time again.
