This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author and former confidante of Donald J. Trump, Michael Cohen, the official report of materials supporting the first-ever second impeachment of a President of the United States—complete with US Constitution included. In 2019, Donald Trump became only the third US President to be impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of congress. In January 2021, he became the first President in American history to be impeached for a second time. Though no sitting president was ever convicted, will Trump be the first there, too? Still in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which the president has also been accused of handling poorly, and an ongoing refusal to concede his loss to rival candidate Joe Biden, Donald Trump is said to have provoked his followers to storm the US Capitol in Washington, DC, resulting in a shocking protest-turned-violent in an effort to stop the official Electoral count in certifying Biden's victory. The unprecedented event led to the deaths of at least five people, as well as the President being banned from all major social media, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and more, due to risk of inciting more violence. This groundbreaking report—released by the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Jerrold Nadler—covers Trump's conduct leading up to January 6, 2021, the attack on the capitol, his response to the insurrection, and provides a compelling argument as to why there is an immediate need to consider impeachment despite Trump having only seven days left in office.

Download or read book Endgame written by Eric Swalwell and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Democratic congressman and member of the House intelligence committee, an insider’s account of the impeachments of former president Donald Trump. How do you stop a rogue president? How do you protect a country from a man who lies, who obstructs justice, and who seeks to cheat with foreign powers to get reelected? Our constitution offers one remedy: impeachment. On December 18, 2019, President Donald J. Trump became just the third president in US history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. And then, on January 13, 2021, he became the first president to be impeached twice. In Endgame, Congressman Eric Swalwell offers his personal account of his path to office all the way to House impeachment manager, and how he and his colleagues resisted, investigated, and impeached a corrupt president. Swalwell takes readers inside Congress and through the impeachment process, from Trump’s disgraceful phone call with the Ukrainian president to depositions in the SCIF, and from caucus meetings and conversations with the Speaker to the bombshell public hearings and the historic vote, and then what followed—the 2020 election, the insurrection on January 6, 2021, the second impeachment and second trial. Endgame is fascinating, a gripping read by a unique witness to extraordinary events.
Download or read book The Case for Impeachment written by Allan J. Lichtman and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Lichtman has written what may be the most important book of the year.” —The Hill What are the ranges and limitations of presidential authority? What are the standards of truthfulness that a president must uphold? What will it take to impeach Donald J. Trump? Professor Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential outcomes, answers these questions, and more, in TheCase for Impeachment—a deeply convincing argument for impeaching the 45th president of the United States. In the fall of 2016, Allan J. Lichtman made headlines when he predicted that Donald J. Trump would defeat the heavily favored Democrat, Hillary Clinton, to win the presidential election. Now, in clear, nonpartisan terms, Lichtman lays out the reasons Congress could remove Trump from the Oval Office: his ties to Russia before and after the election, the complicated financial conflicts of interest at home and abroad, and his abuse of executive authority. The Case for Impeachment also offers a fascinating look at presidential impeachments throughout American history, including the often-overlooked story of Andrew Johnson’s impeachment, details about Richard Nixon’s resignation, and Bill Clinton’s hearings. Lichtman shows how Trump exhibits many of the flaws (and more) that have doomed past presidents. As the Nixon Administration dismissed the reporting of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein as “character assassination” and “a vicious abuse of the journalistic process,” Trump has attacked the “dishonest media,” claiming, “the press should be ashamed of themselves.” Historians, legal scholars, and politicians alike agree: we are in politically uncharted waters—the durability of our institutions is being undermined and the public’s confidence in them is eroding, threatening American democracy itself. Most citizens—politics aside—want to know where the country is headed. Lichtman argues, with clarity and power, that for Donald Trump’s presidency, smoke has become fire.
Download or read book A Case for the American People written by Norman Eisen and published by Crown. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Democrats’ special impeachment counsel on the House Judiciary Committee lays out President Trump’s shocking pattern of betrayals, lies, and high crimes, arguing articles of impeachment to the ultimate judges: the American people. In his behind-the-scenes account of the attempts to bring the president to justice—from filing the very first legal actions against him, through the Mueller report, to the turbulent impeachment and trial, to the president’s ongoing wrongdoing today—Norman Eisen, at the forefront of the battle since the day of Trump’s inauguration, pulls back the curtain on the process. He reveals ten proposed articles of impeachment, not just the two that were publicly tried, all of which he had a hand in drafting. He then guides us through Trump’s lifelong instincts that have dictated his presidency: a cycle of abuse, corruption, and relentless obstruction of the truth. Since taking the oath of office, Donald Trump has been on a spree of high crimes and misdemeanors, using the awesome power of the presidency for his own personal gain, at the expense of the American people. He has inflamed our divisions for his electoral benefit, with flagrant disregard for the Constitution that makes us America. Each step of the way, he has lied incessantly, including to cover up his crimes. And yet he remains in the country’s highest office. Congress, federal and state prosecutors, and courts have worked to hold the president accountable for his myriad offenses—with some surprising successes and devastating failures. Eisen, who served as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee for Trump’s impeachment and trial, presents the case against Trump anew. Eisen’s gripping narrative and rousing closing argument—at turns revelatory, insightful, and enraging—will inspire our nation of judges. History has proven that this president’s nefarious behavior will continue, no matter the crisis. But, as Eisen’s candid retelling affirms, there is an ultimate constitutional power that transcends the president’s, a power that can and must defeat him if our nation is to survive. The verdict of the American people remains in the balance. It is time for us to act.
Download or read book Trump s Trials written by Kevin Sullivan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sets a standard for political storytelling with impeccable research and lively writing.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Page-turning…riveting…colorful and detailed…a barometer of the health of our democracy.” —Barbara McQuade, The Washington Post Two investigations. Two impeachments. Two acquittals. One president. The full story. Unprecedented. Unimaginable. Until Donald Trump’s presidency. A year apart, two ferocious political dramas challenged American democracy. As Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Kevin Sullivan and Mary Jordan show in this gripping account, the two Trump impeachments and acquittals shared common threads: An American president, relentless in his drive to win re-election, willing to disregard the laws that limit his powers, no matter the cost. A divided Congress, split along party lines, unable to agree on whether Trump’s actions met the Constitutional standard for removal from office. The Constitution itself, tested in ways that its framers had not anticipated. Trump’s Trials is an expanded version of Trump on Trial, Sullivan and Jordan’s compelling and masterful 2020 account of the first impeachment. That narrative, a crisp page-turner with exquisite detail and vivid scenes, deftly conveyed the calculations of the central figures, in particular Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. The authors have added three new chapters, and revised others, to carry the narrative through the 2020 presidential election of Joe Biden; Trump’s feverish attempts to overturn Biden’s victory; his supporters’ deadly attack on the Capitol as Congress was certifying the electoral votes; Trump’s second impeachment and acquittal—but this time, with seven Republican senators voting against him. Sullivan and Jordan, aided by editor Steve Luxenberg, have written a fast-paced, authoritative account of the historic events that rocked America—an invaluable examination of what happened and why.
Download or read book Trial Brief Impeachment of President Donald J Trump written by United States United States House of Representatives and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-18 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the impeachment trial brief presented in the United States House of Representatives to impeach President Donald Trump.President Donald J. Trump used his official powers to pressure a foreign government to interfere in a United States election for his personal political gain, and then attempted to cover up his scheme by obstructing Congress's investigation into his misconduct. The Constitution provides a remedy when the President commits such serious abuses of his office: impeachment and removal. The Senate must use that remedy now to safeguard the 2020 U.S. election, protect our constitutional form of government, and eliminate the threat that the President poses to America's national security. The House adopted two Articles of Impeachment against President Trump: the first for abuse of power, and the second for obstruction of Congress. The evidence overwhelmingly establishes that he is guilty of both. The only remaining question is whether the members of the Senate will accept and carry out the responsibility placed on them by the Framers of our Constitution and their constitutional Oaths.

His startling victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election caught experts off guard. Trump's lack of governing experience led to predictions of disaster. Trump's belligerence toward America's allies and rejection of longtime trade pacts alarmed his critics. They claimed his stance of America First reeked of nationalism.

This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book continues the chronological look at the inner workings of our government in the last two years of Donald Trump's administration and the resulting insurrection. He has lost the investigative power of the House of Representatives in the midterm election, but still controls the Senate under the compliant leadership of Mitch McConnell. Now he needs to find a willing Attorney General in order to control the Judiciary Branch. He finds that in William Barr. President Trump has been emboldened by newly appointed A.G. Barr with his dismissal of the Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigation. With the help of compliant Republicans in Congress, he believes that he can do no wrong. Unfortunately, our deep division in American thinking has been created by individuals and organizations that are using our beloved internet for their own selfish purposes. Across this communication highway, we have mainstream, conservative, and social media all vying for our attention. Good intentions seem to be overwrought by predatory ambitions. This constant stream of sensationalized misinformation has created a storm of hateful division. Wayward focus groups are urged to gather together and fight for the causes that they have been directed to believe in, the truth be damned. What is most frightening about this change in American lifestyle is that the President of the United States is primarily responsible for this deep division. Donald Trump is a master manipulator. He will do whatever is necessary to obtain control, using whomever he can to succeed and punishing all who oppose his ambitions. Trump has forever made elaborate and baseless claims about election fraud, even after the Electoral College confirmed Joe Biden's victory on December 14. Five days later, he tweeted, "Big protest in DC on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" He then tweeted seven more times calling attention to the event, including one on January 1 that included the phrase "Stop the Steal!" In this book, I continue my conversations with die hard Trump supporters. Unlike his bigoted and brutal MAGA insurrectionists, these people are our everyday friends and family. What I have learned with these debates is that their beliefs and expressive language mimic those of the numerous hosts of Fox News programming. They steadfastly cling to outrageously unbelievable conspiracy theories that are promoted by guests on Fox News and other far-right conservative media. Read what they have to say and my response, then decide for yourself where and why this misinformation is so destructive.

There doesn’t need to be any partisan spin here, because the facts of the coup the Democrats attempted speak for themselves.” —Steve Deace, host of the Steve Deace Show on TheBlaze TV Abuse of Power exposes: • How Elizabeth Warren tried to set an impeachment trap for Trump even before the inauguration. • Why the depths of the Biden family’s international conflict of interests are worthy of a federal investigation. • Why Nancy Pelosi caved to The Squad to remain leadership. • How Adam Schiff pushed Jerry Nadler out of the key spot to lead the impeachment. • How Democrats abandoned what would have been a crowning leftwing achievement in gun control legislation in order to pursue an impeachment that was destined to fail in the Senate. • How Mitt Romney’s vote to convict likely prevent three moderate Democrats from rebelling against party leaders.

Download or read book The Tweets of President Donald J Trump written by Forefront Books and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love them or hate them, the tweets of President Donald J. Trump rule the Twitterverse. Until our last presidential campaign, television, particularly campaign ads, dominated the political landscape. But with the rise of Donald J. Trump came a new political tool: the internet. Trump used this to communicate instantly and very effectively with the American people. And it worked. Establishing his political positions by tweeting numerous times a day, Trump pulled a major upset by defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton to become the 45th president of the United States. Once in office, Trump did not abandon his penchant for using Twitter as his populist platform. Instead, he doubled down on it, making it his primary means of communicating with the American people. Knowing how effective a tweet can be, Trump once wrote, “Boom. I press it and within two seconds we have breaking news.” With a massive Twitter following of 78 million by the spring of 2020, Trump’s direct impact upon Americans cannot be dismissed, nor can the value of his tweets as an essential part of the historical record be denied. To put the enormous impact of his tweets into perspective, Trump won the White House with 63 million votes—a number significantly lower than his massive Twitter following. Now you can read the collected tweets of wisdom—or ridiculousness—from President Donald J. Trump, from his inauguaration through February 2020 in this historically significant collection.
