The Special Counsel: The Mueller Report Retold

“This is the end of my presidency. I’m fucked.” -President Donald TrumpImagine Special Counsel Robert Mueller got so frustrated with the U.S. attorney general that, instead of letting theReport on the Investigation intoRussianInterference in the 2016 Presidential Electionspeak for itself, he allowed the full narrative of corruption, high crimes, and cover-ups to be revealed…With more than 350,000 copies sold, theReport on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Electionhas taken its place as the defining document of the Trump administration. Replete with some of the most infamous characters and outlandish schemes in modern American history, the underlying evidence in the Special Counsel’s written testimony could have been plucked from the script of a blockbuster movie. But at 400-plus pages of bewildering redactions and impenetrable legal analysis, the text itself is so dense that even our elected officials have admitted to leaving the report unread.Now, stripped of legalese while still faithful to fact,The Special Counseltells the story of what really happened in a compulsively readable-yet comprehensive-narrative. Whisking readers from Manhattan’s Trump Tower to the rural towns of Pennsylvania and the frosty streets of St. Petersburg, this book brings to vivid life the people, places, and politics that have shaped our post-2016 lives. One thing is bone-chillingly clear: our democracy is under attack and only an informed American public can save it.The Special Counselis as necessary as it is thrilling.
