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."--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cDoubleday,|d2020. |nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 903 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 600 10 Trump, Donald,|d1946-|xImpeachment. 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|xElection|y2016. 650 0 Corruption investigation|zUnited States. 650 0 Governmental investigations|zUnited States. 650 0 Political campaigns|xCorrupt practices|zUnited States. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y2017- 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9780385536738 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5373690 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=65720529- f428-43e7-bc1c-970631e913eb&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0111-1/ %7B65720529-F428-43E7-BC1C-970631E913EB%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0111-1/ %7B65720529-F428-43E7-BC1C-970631E913EB%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
