“The View” declined further request for comment. According to ABC publicist Lauri Hogan, Wolff was set to appear on ABC’s “The View” on Monday, but was taken off the scheduling. In recent interviews including one with Steve Inskeep of NPR on Sunday’s “Morning Edition,” Wolff vaguely defended his findings saying that he trusts his own reporting and sources even though many are unnamed. Wolff has been slow to respond to questions of plausibility, but is now starting to make public appearances. Unless the author comes forward with reliable sources or the documents to support his research, this lack of validity may hurt sales. The Justice Department has already denied the existence of documents including the indictment itself even before the book’s release. “Siege” chronicles Russian meddling in the 2016 election, the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, and asserts that Mueller drafted an indictment of the President. With this kind of saturation, Wolff has had to scramble to offer up his own blockbuster scoops and there’s evidence to suggest his claims may have exceeded the facts at hand. And in the months since “Fire and Fury” hit stands, they’ve had no shortage of books pulling back the curtain on the 45th president’s chaotic management style - the likes of Bob Woodward’s “Fear: Trump in the White House,” Cliff Sims’ “Team of Vipers,” and Vicky Ward’s “Kushner Inc.” have all offered up headline-making looks at all things “The Donald.” Readers are looking to other sources for more reliable information, Altshuler said. She attributed the lack of interest to the saturation of political books in the market and a lack of trust regarding Wolff’s credibility. This time around, with Wolff’s sequel “Siege: Trump Under Fire” hitting stores on June 4, Altshuler said she does not expect the same kind of frenzy and that there is “significantly less demand” for the book.
