New Book: The Art of the Lie
My new book is on the shelves. Here’s a sample.
After eight years of research and writing, I'm releasing The Art of the Lie, a documented record of how political deception works and who it protects.
We know what he is.
Liar. Thief. Sex abuser. Convicted felon—34 counts of falsifying business records, the first president in American history to be convicted of a crime. Found liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room. A judge later wrote that her accusation of rape was "substantially true." Courts ordered him to pay her $88.3 million. He's still appealing. His company was convicted on 17 counts of criminal tax fraud. A New York judge found he'd been inflating his assets for years to cheat banks and insurers.
For fifteen years, his closest friend was Jeffrey Epstein. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy," he said in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." He knew. He said it out loud. Nobody cared.
He calls Putin "a strong leader" and "genius" for invading Ukraine. When asked about the bombed maternity wards, the mass graves, the kidnapped children, his answer was "It's all terrible." That's it. That's all he had.
None of it mattered. Seventy-seven million votes elected a criminal.
This is the book. Names and dates, the networks, the money. How the lies get told. How the system protects them—and how power bends truth until truth stops mattering.
You don't write a book like this because you want to. You write it because someone has to keep the record.
