New book about trump and russia

President Trump and his allies nearly succeeded in consigning the Mueller report to oblivion. And Robert Mueller himself invited a certain measure of confusion by telling his story in dense, legalistic prose. Barely six months after he delivered the report, it had already faded into the mists of Trumpiana: post-Sean Spicer, pre-whistle-blower. The request was so plainly an abuse of Presidential power—Zelensky was awaiting delivery of military aid already approved by Congress—that Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, launched an investigation focussed on impeachment , to be led by Adam Schiff, the chair of the Intelligence Committee. Mueller and Russia are out; Schiff and Ukraine are in. But the Russia and Ukraine scandals are, in fact, one story. Just two years earlier, Putin had invaded Ukraine and annexed Crimea.
