| Summary |
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 |
