Kevin McCarthy was allegedly the subject of foul-mouthed rants by former US president Donald Trump, who claimed that the Republican House leader “pretended” to be his friend, a new book says.
Mr Trump, according to an account from Peril, a book soon to be released by Watergate reporter Bob Woodward and his Washington Post colleague Robert Costa, flipped after Mr McCarthy condemned the 6 January riot.
“This guy called me every single day, pretended to be my best friend, and then, he f****d me,” Mr Trump reportedly said of the Republican House leader in February. “He’s not a good guy”.

Like many Republicans, the House leader later walked back his remarks following Joe Biden’s inauguration on 2020 January, and asked Mr Trump for his backing."...
