A lawyer for the publisher of Fire and Fury - the book which purports to show what is really going on behind the scenes at the White House - says no retraction or apology is coming.
US President Donald Trump and his supporters called the book fiction, and Trump lawyer Charles J. Harder last week sent a cease-and-desist letter to Henry Holt & Company, threatening legal action.
In a response to Harder that was shared with The Associated Press, Elizabeth A. McNamara of the firm David Wright Tremaine writes that the book is "an accurate report" and says Harder failed to cite any specific errors.
McNamara writes that former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, whose explosive quotes helped make the book a best-seller, spoke "freely and voluntarily" to author Michael Wolff.
McNamara also writes that should Trump sue, the author and publisher are "quite confident" that Trump political and financial documents would prove "particularly relevant" for the defence.
