Jackbot’s head tilted toward the bed, and his green eyes flashed. The door opened, and three feet of scrap and spare parts rattled into the room on wobbly legs. George plugged his fingers into his ears. The clock started blaring a recording of a bugle from across the room on George’s desk. George had tried to reprogram his Sergeant Wake-Me-Up clock to speak in a gentle, feminine voice, but something must have gone wrong. The light that filled the room was blinding. ON THE FLOOR AND GIVE ME TWENTY, PEA BRAIN! George Gearing opened his eyes and, still half asleep, lifted his head from the pillow. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data is available.

Gabriel Sherman, a writer for Vanity Fair, said Thursday that it was "baffling" that Trump's team gave such access to Wolff, who conducted more than 200 interviews over the course of 18 months from his perch on a West Wing couch.
