Woodward plans to remain an associate editor at the Post during the project, while Costa willremain a national political reporter on leave, Axios reported. Costa is also the moderator and managing editor of Washington Week on PBS and a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC News.

The project will come after Woodwards book Rage was published earlier this yearfollowing 18 on-the-record conversations with Trump. The book reported that Trump acknowledged the coronavirus was deadly in a March interview but said he wanted to always play it down to avoid creating a panic.
