In response to the pending release of Fire and Fury, attorneys with the Trump Administration have attempted to halt the publication of the Michael Wolff book.

Attorney Charles Harder sent a cease and desist letter to publisher Henry Holt on behalf of President Donald Trump demanding that the book not be released.

"The letter also calls for the immediate termination of the publication of any excerpts from the book. Thus far, extended excerpts have been published in New York magazine and The Hollywood Reporter. The letter was addressed directly to Wolff and the president of the publishing company," reported Newsweek.

"Such a letter carries no legal implications for Wolff or the publishing house, although a cease and desist letter is sometimes followed by legal action if it is not heeded."
