Huge Lines At DC Bookstores For Wolff's 'Fire And Fury' Release

WASHINGTON, DC -- A massive line wound through Kramerbooks in Northwest at midnight Thursday night/Friday morning for the release of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury," a book that has sent shockwaves through the White House and the country with the release of excerpts from the book in recent days.

Chris Geidner of Buzzfeed News tweeted pictures of the line at Kramerbooks, a landmark D.C. bookstore located at 1517 Connecticut Ave. NW. Dozens of people can be seen in a line snaking through the entire store.

In addition, the Washingtonian reported that there was air of excitement Friday morning at Politics and Prose as people rushed in to snap up the book.

The release of "Fire and Fury" was moved up a few days after it set off a firestorm in D.C., with President Trump threatening to sue the publisher if it was released. Already, it has caused a public rift between Trump and Steve Bannon, who once held a key position at the White House but had "lost his mind" after he was fired, Trump said in a blistering statement in response to the book. According to the book, Bannon said that Donald Trump, Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer to get dirt on Hillary Clinton was "treasonous."
