'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,' written by Michael Wolff, isn't scheduled to hit the shelves until January 9, but it's already put the White House on the defensive.
Among the many revelations packed into an excerpt published by New York Magazine on Wednesday is that first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have White House aspirations beyond their current positions as advisers to President Trump.
"Between themselves, the two had made an earnest deal: If sometime in the future the opportunity arose, she'd be the one to run for president," according to Wolff. "The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, would not be Hillary Clinton; it would be Ivanka Trump."
Wolff also notes they took their White House jobs "over the advice of almost everyone they knew" and with "the hope that Trump's unexpected victory would catapult them into a heretofore unimagined big time."
The book also features an interview with former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, who makes some rather unflattering comments about Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, and Kushner.
In passages shared by The Guardian, Bannon suggested that their 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians was "treasonous" and "unpatriotic."
He also predicted that the Russia investigation won't end well for either of them.
President Trump was quick to respond, saying in a statement, "Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."
