Bob Woodward's book is now officially out, and so is a growing series of statements from White House officials taking issue with how they are portrayed and quoted in it. Two denials, in particular — from former top White House aides Gary Cohn and Rob Porter — are conspicuously incomplete. Here's what the former chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers told Axios about Woodward's account:This book does not accurately portray my experience at the White House. But in the end, President Trump is the one who decides, and he has shown himself more than capable of doing so. Cohn's and Porter's denials seem geared toward tamping down tensions with the White House without totally discounting Woodward's reporting.
