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.
