was having an affair, and said that a close reading of his book could reveal who his partner was. Based on a passage from Fire and Fury, some observers believed this was a reference to Nikki Haley, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Haley denied Wolff's allegations, calling it "disgusting" and "absolutely not true". Erik Wemple of The Washington Post said that Wolff was engaging in a "remarkable multimedia slime job". The New York Post editorial board called Wolff's claim an "ugly, sexist rumor". Bari Weiss in The New York Times said that Wolff was "gleefully" spreading "evidence-free detail". After several interviewers pressed him about the rumor, Wolff later said that "I do not know if the president is having an affair." Television adaptation Endeavor Content, in association with Chernin Entertainment, purchased the film and television rights the same month of the book's publication. Author Michael Wolff is attached to the series as an executive producer, along with former BBC and Channel 4 executive Michael Jackson and The Young Pope alum John Lyons. In March 2018, Emmy-winning director Jay Roach signed on to direct and executive produce the series. As of March 2018, the project has yet to find a network. Sequel In June 2018, Wolff announced that he had signed a deal with Henry Holt, the book's publisher, to write a sequel. The sequel, titled Siege: Trump Under Fire'', was released on June 4, 2019.
