Key Woodward sources criticize Trump depiction in book ‘Fear’

Two apparent key sources for Bob Woodward’s devastating new book on Donald Trump criticized the author’s depiction of the president Tuesday, suggesting he distorted their accounts.

Gary Cohn and Rob Porter both issued statements taking some issue with Woodward’s description of Trump’s White House in “Fear,” which was released Tuesday, as a “Crazytown” where aides plot to thwart Trump’s orders and keep him contained.

Cohn, the former White House chief economic advisor, and ex-staff secretary Porter are portrayed as having worked together to prevent a poorly informed Trump from making unsound and potentially disastrous decisions involving national security and the economy.

Significant story; I didn't even know these two were apparently known sources.

Woodward's book has Cohn having to talk Trump out of his suggestion to just print money to fix the national debt problem:
