'Calm, no panic!: Trump denies wrongdoing over Woodward coronavirus revelations as lawyers say it's 'impeachable offence'
Donald Trump has denied any wrongdoing over the statements he made to journalist Bob Woodward early into the coronavirus pandemic, as lawyers have claimed the president playing it down to the public could be an “impeachable offence".
In a tweet released on Thursday, just one day after news broke about key lines from Mr Woodward’s upcoming book Rage, the president said he gave “good and proper answers” about the pandemic.
“Bob Woodward had my quotes for many months,” Mr Trump wrote. “If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn’t he immediately report them in an effort to save lives? Didn’t he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic!”
