Woodward himself is not using that as a defense.

Quote:Woodward’s book, which comes out next week, draws from 18 conversations with Trump between December and July. During his AP interview, Woodward said Trump called him “out of the blue” in early February to “unburden himself” about the virus, which then had few cases in the U.S. But Woodward said that only in May was he satisfied that Trump’s comments were based on reliable information and that by then the virus had spread nationwide.
Needing to fact check the President's statements is fair (although how crazy is our timeline that fact-checking the President is a thing). But still, that was in May. Maybe he should have said something?
