'Fire and Fury' publisher's attorneys push back against Trump cease-and-desist letter

Attorneys for the publisher of a controversial new book that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the Trump White House responded forcefully to a cease-and-desist letter sent last week by lawyers for President Donald Trump, arguing that the book is not libelous and that neither retractions nor apologies will be made.

In a letter to author Michael Wolff and publisher Henry Holt and Company last week, Trump's lawyer Charles Harder called for a stop to the publication of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." Harder wrote that he was "investigating numerous false and/or baseless statements" about the president contained within the book, and that the text further included defamatory "invasion of privacy".
