Trump on Trial: The Investigation, Impeachment, Acquittal and Aftermath

This is a definitive account of the Trump impeachment by a husband and wife team of Washington Post reporters. The book proceeds chronologically, from Lev and Igor and Rudy in the Ukraine, culminating in Trump's phone call to the new president of Ukraine, to Trump's hold on military aid, to the House investigation and its reasoning about how broadly to investigate and what charges to bring, all the way through the Senate trial and failure to convict. The book was published very close in time to the actual events we lived through, but it is very complete and well organized. It reads like a novel, or the best narrative nonfiction. It is a devastating portrait of what Trump did and why it matters, presented in a factual and unbiased way. show more Recommended.
