From CNN chief legal analyst and
bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin, a real-life legal thriller about the
prosecutors and congressional investigators pursuing the truth about Donald
Trump's complicity in several crimes--and why they failed.
Donald
Trump's campaign chairman went to jail. So did his personal lawyer. His
long-time political consigliere was convicted of serious federal crimes, and
his national security advisor pled guilty to others. Several Russian spies were
indicted in absentia. Career intelligence agents and military officers were
alarmed enough by the president's actions that they alerted senior government
officials and ignited the impeachment process.
Yet
despite all this, a years-long inquiry led by special counsel Robert Mueller,
and the third impeachment of a president in American history, Donald Trump
survived to run for re-election. Why?
Jeffrey
Toobin's highly entertaining definitive account of the Mueller investigation
and the impeachment of the president takes readers behind the scenes of the
epic legal and political struggle to call Trump to account for his misdeeds.
With his superb storytelling and analytic skills Toobin recounts all the
mind-boggling twists and turns in the case--Trump's son met with a Russian
operative promising Kremlin support! Trump paid a porn star $130,000 to hush up
an affair! Rudy Giuliani and a pair of shady Ukrainian-American businessmen got
the Justice Department to look at Russian-created conspiracy theories! Toobin
shows how Trump's canny lawyers used Mueller's famous integrity against him,
and how Trump's bullying and bluster cowed Republican legislators into ignoring
the clear evidence of the impeachment hearings.
Based
on dozens of interviews with prosecutors in Mueller's office, Trump's legal
team, Congressional investigators, White House staffers, and several of the key
players, including some who are now in prison, True Crimes and Misdemeanors is
a revelatory narrative that makes sense of the seemingly endless chaos of the
Trump years. Filled with never-before-reported details of the high-stakes legal
battles and political machinations, the book weaves a tale of a rogue president
guilty of historic misconduct, and how he got away with it.
