In an interview on BBC One’s The Andrew Marr Show, the American author Michael Wolff insisted he overheard a discussion between Blair and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and an adviser in the White House. Wolff, whose bestselling book Fire and Fury presents a remarkable and highly negative account of Trump’s first year in office, said Blair was a 'complete liar' in the way he dismissed claims in the book. Blair features only briefly in the book, but Wolff claims Blair was angling for a job as a Middle East peace envoy and that Blair told the Trump team that British intelligence may have been spying on them before Trump assumed the presidency.
