Front row at the Trump show, by Jonathan Karl

 

This is an insightful look at the Trump administration from a reporter who has known Trump for decades. Chief White House correspondent for ABC News, Jonathan Karl had front row access during the Trump candidacy and administration, and he shares his experiences dealing not only with Trump, but with each successive Press Secretary. He discusses anecdotes that he was unable to share during his routine reporting, such as how Sean Spicer behaved behind the scenes (hint: not very nicely) and the many times Trump officials and others lied to reporters. This book was published prior to the election and the January 6 insurrection. I'm looking forward to reading his more recent book, Betrayal, to learn more about the election and its aftermath.
