Senior White House officials have thrown their weight behind President Donald Trump after the release of a book that questions the president’s mental health.

The book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House portrays, written by Michael Wolff, paints a damaging portrait of the US president.

The book has sparked a public rift between Trump and his former strategist Steve Bannon, who is quoted as accusing Trump’s eldest son Donald Jr of “treasonous” behaviour in meeting a group of Russians.

However, CIA chief Mike Pompeo told Fox News the portrayal was “pure fantasy” while policy adviser Stephen Miller told CNN Trump was a “political genius.”

Meanwhile, the BBC reports that the UK Prime Minister Theresa May has dismissed concerns about Trump’s mental health, saying she saw someone “who is committed to ensuring that he is taking decisions in the best interests of the United States.”
