‘Liar Blair did ask for a job with Trump’

WARMONGER Tony Blair was branded a “complete liar” yesterday over his denials that he asked for a job with US President Donald Trump.

Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff said he saw Mr Blair “sucking up” to Mr Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner.

Mr Wolff — whose book published last month provides an explosive account of Mr Trump’s first year in office — told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “I sat in the White House on the couch listening.

“I wasn’t supposed to overhear this, but they were standing right there, with Tony Blair and Jared Kushner standing not 15 feet in front of me with Tony Blair, let me choose my words carefully, sucking up to Jared Kushner.”

A spokeswoman for Mr Blair called the story a “complete fabrication”, saying: “Michael Wolff has never been present at any conversation between Jared Kushner and Mr Blair.

“He neither sought such a role from Jared Kushner nor was offered one.”
