York, B: Obsession

- USA Today Bestseller - "An electric page-turner that reads like a thriller." - MOLLIE HEMINGWAY "No prominent journalist covered the story as completely as Byron York. Obsession . . . is a definitive history and a cautionary tale." - ANDREW C.

• Why the Trump defense team began to suspect that Mueller was not really in charge of the special counsel investigation

• Why Trump's lawyers-certain of his innocence in the Mueller investigation-were even less worried about the Democrats' Ukraine investigation
