WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Bob Woodward, the author of a new book describing how top aides to U.S. President Donald Trump have attempted to limit what they saw as his dangerous behaviour, said on Sunday he would not have published the anonymous op-ed by an administration official that appeared in the New York Times last week.
Woodward, one of America's most famous journalists whose own use of unnamed sources has drawn criticism, said when promoting his book on 'CBS Sunday Morning' that he did not know the author of the Times column, but that it was "too vague" and "does not meet the standards" to be published.
