’s presidency, and while it’s hardly the first book out this year to capture the tumult of 2020, it is an indication that the bombshells and revelations from that White House will continue well into the future.and Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker’sbreaks new ground, with a heavier emphasis on the election’s aftermath and the storming of the Capitol on.
One of the central figures in the book, John McEntee, an aide to Trump who was suddenly elevated to serve as director of the White House personnel office, essentially was tasked with purging the executive branch of those suspected of not being sufficiently loyal to Trump. The effort went to sometimes absurd lengths, according to the book.
Another theme is that well before January 6, the wheels were set in motion for Trump to claim that the election was stolen, as he attacked mail-in balloting; claimed fraudulent activity even before Election Day; and, when the returns did come in that evening, claimed victory even though states were far from finishing their vote counts.
I was petrified every time another book, that there would be material that would duplicate what I was working on. And those were really good reporters. … So it was it was with some trepidation that I waited for each of those books to come out. But I just felt that I was focusing on my story. As I was writing it, it wasn’t like I was upping the ante or anything.
I kind of kept a very detailed journal of 2020, and that turned out to be tremendously helpful to me in writing this book. It reminded me of things that I would have forgotten about, frankly. … And in the journal I often write questions that I have about the news I am covering. I’m going to report what I can under the deadline pressure. But I know that there are unanswered questions, and I write those down with the idea that I want to go back and pursue and find out what was really happening.
