Fire and Fury author Wolff says 25th Amendment concept alive every day at White House

WASHINGTON — Concern in the White House about President Donald Trump’s fitness for office has become so great that members of the president’s administration routinely talk about a constitutional solution, the author of an explosive new book claimed in an exclusive interview on “Meet The Press.”

Michael Wolff, the author of “Fire and Fury,” alleged Sunday that the 25th Amendment, which would allow the president’s cabinet to remove him from office, is a concept that is "alive every day in the White House."

Wolff said White House staffers he talked to would say things like "we're not at a 25th Amendment level yet." Others, he said, called Trump's behaviors "a little 25th Amendment."

Wolff, who has come under heavy criticism from the White House for the book, said he did not leave out positive perceptions of Trump in order to paint a negative picture him.

“If I left out anything it's probably stuff that was even more damning,” he said. “It’s that bad."
