TRUMP ON TRIAL
The Full Story of the Investigation, Impeachment, Acquittal and Aftermath
TRUMP ON TRIAL is the spellbinding and definitive account of the investigation, impeachment, and controversial acquittal of Donald Trump, by two star, Pulitzer-Prize winning reporters at the Washington Post.
TRUMP ON TRIAL begins in Spring of 2019, when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says she will not impeach Trump, and traces the breaking of the Ukraine story that summer, which triggers Pelosi's decision to impeach the president. Next come the secret impeachment hearings, the public hearings presided over by Congressman Adam Schiff, the highly partisan vote to impeach, the January 2020 trial in the Senate, which is marked by a narrow vote against bringing witnesses, and then the vote for acquittal along partisan lines. An epilogue details Trump's vindictive revenge against those whom he feels betrayed him as the country tips into the pandemic crisis and nationwide protests, all presaging a bitter, dramatic 2020 presidential election.
TIMING IS PERFECT!: We publish just as the presidential election season heats up for real. Trump is, in effect, on trial now with the American public.
EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENED: This is the authoritative account of why Trump was impeached by the House yet not removed by the Senate--why he is still the president of the United States.
THE FULL, AMAZING STORY: From Trump's "perfect" phone call in July 2019 to Giuliani's manipulations in Ukraine, to the sudden appearance of the CIA whistleblower, to Republican congressmen angrily storming private Intelligence Committee hearings, to secret Democrat strategy meetings, to McConnell's iron-fisted control of the January 2020 senate proceedings--it's all here, a remarkably granular, tick-tock story of American history being made.
UNPARALLELED ACCESS: Sullivan and Jordan drew on the reporting of many dozens of Post staffers and secured many new interviews with the major players. No one else has such a complete, nuanced, and fresh account.
EVERY MAJOR POLITICAL FIGURE: Trump, Pence, Giuliani, Bolton, Pompeo, McConnell, Alan Dershowitz, Romney, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, and Biden, with important cameos of the impeachment hearings figures that we came to know: Fiona Hill, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, Ambassadors Marie Yovanovitch and Gordan Sondland.
FEROCIOUS CONFLICT: At every level, the hatred and fury between antagonists is striking: Battles within the State Department, within the Democratic leadership, between Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate, between Trump and Pelosi personally, in the media echo-chamber, and between real-world citizens shouting at Congressmen and each other.
EMINENT PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHORS: Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan have decades of reporting experience at the Post and have won all major American journalism awards. They are incredibly mediagenic, having appeared on major news programs for their previous books.
MEDIA EVENT: This book ties into the 2020 election news cycle in every possible way. The Post is committed to reporting on the book's publication and will promote it in concert with Scribner's publicity efforts, as they have with past Scribner/Post book projects.
BALANCED: Sullivan and Jordan present the Senate Republicans' legal points of view on the issue of impeachment, in which they largely conceded that Trump's actions in Ukraine were wrong but did not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. Thoughtful readers, even those hostile to Trump, will engage with this argument.
A CLEAR-EYED RECORD ONLY POSSIBLE IN BOOK FORM: The real time events last fall and winter were so relentless and full of media noise that sorting it all out was not easy. Yet history was made. Sullivan and Jordan have crafted a vivid narrative that unpacks the whole political drama.
Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan are Pulitzer Prize winning journalists for The Washington Post who write about national and foreign news. Sullivan has also served as the Post's chief foreign correspondent, deputy foreign editor, and Sunday and Features Editor. They are the authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Hope: A Memoir of Survival in Cleveland and The Prison Angel: Mother Antonia's Journey from Beverly Hills to a Life of Service in a Mexican Jail. They live in Washington, D.C., with their two children.
