Description: The Harvard-educated defense attorney and "Newsweek" political columnist presents an in-depth account of the Ukraine scandal that exposes years of clandestine activities, explaining why Trump's corrupt international deals have been particularly consequential during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abramson traces in exacting detail the clandestine schemes of Trump and his cadre of agents and advisers from 2015 onward. While the facts of each Trump bribery scandal are complex, the pattern of corruption remains the same: seeking to appease Vladimir Putin by returning Ukraine's energy industry to Kremlin control; freezing aid to Ukraine to extort bogus "intelligence" on Joe Biden from corrupt Ukrainian prosecutors; ignoring November 2019 intelligence warning of a dangerous virus outbreak in China due to his business interests in Beijing; promoting a dangerous and ineffective treatment for COVID-19 at the behest of his richest campaign donors. With Donald Trump, all roads lead-- by design-- to personal enrichment. -- adapted from jacket
