That coincidence is quite convenient for Mr. Woodward.
The NY Times opinion piece is a wholly self-serving product of the author. Even if the allegations are true it serves no benefit to the president or to the nation. Quite the opposite, it serves only to call into question not just the president but the functions of the Executive branch as a whole. If an unelected advisor is actually making the decision in the White House then there was no purpose in having an election at all. That's not Democracy by any stretch of the imagination.
There are, of course, other possibilities. This could be an attempt to build a case for removal of the president. While basing such an attempt on hearsay (Woodward's as well as that of the op-ed author) would have seemed insane at earlier points in American history it could well be contemplated under the current insanity.
This could also merely be an attempt to undermine Trump's credibility. That was the point of the Steele dossier. It is the point of the absurdly biased press coverage and 40-45% of the citizens believe getting Trump out by any means necessary is the only way to save the world at large.
