It’s been an amazing week, humbling for the things said about our book, and heartening to see so many Americans engaged in discussion about the state of the Justice Department and our democracy. Looking forward to our conversation tonight in Boston with Heather Cox Richardson.

Just finished Injustice, the new book by multiple Pulitzer Prize winning journalists @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Aaron Davis. So well done! And so much new information, depicting both the best and worst of the Department of Justice under Trump 1 and Biden administrations. Worth reading for sure.

“The disturbing takeaway of INJUSTICE is that, at the Justice Department, political independence has been replaced by abject servility to Trump." @nytimes.com reviews the new book from @carolleonnig.bsky.social and @byaaroncdavis.bsky.social.
