Davis, a shocking investigation of unparalleled depth into the subversion of the Justice Department over the last decade, culminating in President Donald Trump upending this cornerstone of democracy and threatening America's rule of law as we have long known it\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout his first administration, Trump did more than any other president to politicize the nation's top law enforcement agency, pressuring appointees to shield him, to target his enemies, and even to help him cling to power after his 2020 election defeat. The department, pressed into a defensive crouch, has never fully recovered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eInjustice\u003c\/i\u003e exposes not only the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the department at every turn but also how delays in investigating Trump's effort to overturn the will of voters under Attorney General Merrick Garland helped prevent the country from holding Trump accountable and enabled his return to power. With never-before-told accounts, Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis take readers inside as prosecutors convulsed over Trump's disdain for the rule of law, and FBI agents, the department's storied investigators, at times retreated in fear. They take you to the rooms where Special Counsel Jack Smith's team set off on an all-but-impossible race to investigate Trump for absconding with classified documents and waging an assault on democracy--and inside his prosecution's heroic and fateful choices that ultimately backfired. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a plethora of sources deeply embedded in the ranks of three presidencies, Leonnig and Davis reveal the daily war secretly waged for the soul of the department, how it has been shredded by propaganda and partisanship, and how--if the United States hopes to live on with its same form of government--Trump's war with the Justice Department will mark a turning point from which it will be hard to recover. \u003ci\u003eInjustice\u003c\/i\u003e is the jaw-dropping account of partisans and enablers undoing democracy, heroes still battling to preserve a nation governed by laws, and a call to action for those who believe in liberty and justice for all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Leonnig\u003c\/b\u003e, a five-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, is the author of three bestselling books and an investigative reporter who has worked at \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e for the last twenty-five years.
