There are multiple pieces of evidence. Firstly, official investigations into the matters covered in the book did not find any illegal or improper behavior as the book claimed. Secondly, many of the sources used in the book were unreliable or misinterpreted. The book made it seem like there were shady deals when in fact there were proper procedures followed in things like donations and business relationships.
