(New York: Viking Press, 2020)
The authors, investigative and White House reporters for The Daily Beast, share what the publisher describes as “an uncompromising account of the financial and moral degradation of our capital, told with righteous indignation and through the lens of key power players and foot soldiers whose own antics have often escaped the notice of the overworked press corps.” Markay, who covers money in politics, lobbying, influence, and corruption, formerly reported for the Washington Free Beacon and was the first investigative reporter for the Heritage Foundation.
