How to stop the next Donald Trump – by a Mueller prosecutor
About this episode
Andrew Weissmann discusses how to combat political lying and prevent future threats to democracy.
Can the damage Donald Trump has wrought on America be repaired? And if another Trump emerged, could anyone stop them? Ex-FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann is a former member of Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s election interference. (Credentials: Trump labelled him “scum” and Stephen Miller called him “deranged” and a “moron”). In his new book Liar’s Kingdom: How To Stop Trump’s Deceit and Save Democracy, Weissmann offers a radical cure for America’s crisis: fight and punish political lying at every level. Would it work in a country addicted to lies and the anger they create? • Buy Andrew Weissmann’s book Liar’s Kingdom: How To Stop Trump's Deceit and Save Democracy from our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.
