NYT White House Reporter Jonathan Swan and Todd Purdum (Rescheduled Event)

NYT White House Reporter Jonathan Swan and Todd Purdum (Rescheduled) Regime Change is not only a bestseller, it is one of the most talked about books in recent memory. New York Times Reporter Jonathan Swan has rescheduled his Writers Bloc appearance. Join us on September 24. It’s a common refrain among Democrats: why have efforts to stop Donald Trump’s administration of corruption and abuse of power failed time and again? Stellar New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan offer answers and evidence pertaining to the president’s seemingly limitless power to upend accepted norms. In their new book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, Haberman and Swan focus on Trump’s first year in office from his second term. That one year describes a whirlwind of shock and awe aimed not only at American cities and citizens, but at the global landscape as well. Justice Department payback aimed at Trump’s perceived enemies; the first family as a conduit for untold personal profit, and international aggression perpetuated in secret discussions without Congressional knowledge or consent. How did the president and his cabinet wield such power to get away with everything he's gotten away with? With hundreds of revelatory interviews, Haberman and Swan examine Trump's leading-by- vengeance approach, and his cavalier use of unchecked power. Jonathan Swan is an award-winning reporter for the New York Times, who covers the White House with Maggie Haberman. Please note that co-author Maggie Haberman will not be in attendance at this event. In conversation with Todd Purdum, former Los Angeles bureau chief for the New York Times and prior to that, he was a White House correspondent for the New York Times. As a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, he covered the busy intersection between politics and culture, and has had beats at Politico and The Atlantic. He is the author of several books, including Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television. Send your audience questions through Eventbrite by using the "Contact Organizer" feature.
