Bob Woodward The Washington Post

President Donald Trump and his aides reacted with indignation Wednesday to an unsigned opinion column from a senior official blasting the president's "amorality" and launched a frantic hunt for the author, who claims to be part of a secret "resistance" inside the government protecting the nation from its commander in chief.

The White House on Tuesday aggressively challenged aspects of Bob Woodward's explosive new book on President Donald Trump's administration, which paints a devastating portrait of a presidency careening toward a "nervous breakdown."

In the worldwide capital of leaks and anonymous dishing that is Washington, secrets can be almost impossible to keep.

One of the most important phases of the transition to power for President-elect Donald Trump includes briefings on U.S. intelligence capabilities and secret operations as well as separate descriptions of the extraordinary powers he will have over the military, especially contingency plans to use nuclear weapons, according to officials.

Donald Trump said in an interview that economic conditions are so perilous that the country is headed for a "very massive recession" and that "it's a terrible time right now" to invest in the stock market, embracing a distinctly gloomy view of the economy that counters mainstream economic forecasts.

President Richard Nixon believed that years of aerial bombing in Southeast Asia to pressure North Vietnam achieved "zilch" even as he publicly declared it was effective and ordered more bombing while running for reelection in 1972, according to a handwritten note from Nixon disclosed in a new book by Bob Woodward.

The parking garage where Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward famously met his Watergate informant "Deep Throat" is facing the wrecking ball.

Pakistan for years secretly approved of US drone attacks on its territory despite public denunciations, The Washington Post reported Wednesday, citing secret documents.
