The book provides an insider's perspective on the failures of Congress during Donald Trump's impeachments, revealing how political caution and missteps hindered accountability. Reporters Rachael Bade and Karoun Demirjian detail the hesitance of House Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, to confront Trump, and how Republicans, despite private concerns about his actions, prioritized political survival. Through extensive interviews, the authors illustrate how both parties compromised the integrity of impeachment, ultimately emboldening Trump and weakening Congress's role in checks and balances.
