Book Description
The ultimate insider’s guide to the first criminal trial of an American president: the New York election interference prosecution of Donald Trump.Counsel in the first impeachment of Donald Trump and CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen has been hailed as “at the very pinnacle” of commentators addressing the former president’s court troubles. In this new guide to Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial, he explains the landmark prosecution—the first ever of a current or former President of the United States—and what to expect at every stage of the trial. Eisen makes the case that these proceedings concern Trump’s first election interference in 2016, opening the way for similar voter deception to hang onto power in 2020. The volume is an indispensable guide to what may prove to be one of the most important trials in our history.Praise for Trying Trump “Amazingly clear and thorough blueprint.”–Laurence Tribe, Carl M. Loeb University Professor emeritus and Professor of Constitutional Law emeritus at Harvard Law School“For legal geeks and for lay people who want to understand one of the most important trials the country will ever see, NormEisen has made the pleadings and the issues in the Manhattan DA’s case readily understandable as we get close to the start of trial.” –Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney and Distinguished Professor of the Practice of Law at the University of Alabama School of Law “Amazing resource to understand all things about the trial prosecuted by my old office. A trial bible!” –Karen Agnifilo, former Manhattan Chief Assistant District Attorney“Norm Eisen gives readers an actual trial notebook, setting out the strategic calls, evidentiary issues, theories of the case — as trial lawyers themselves bring to battle. It is invaluable.”–Harry Litman, Former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Assistant Attorney General“Everything you always wanted to know (‘But Were Afraid to Ask!’) about the case against Trump for election interference—great guide.”–Shanlon Wu, former Assistant U.S. Attorney and Counsel to the U.S. Attorney General “In Trying Trump, former White House ethics czar Norman Eisen with precision and great attention to detail explains the first criminal trial of a former president in U.S. history. Eisen brilliantly explains the evidence in this case, the likely prosecution and defense strategies, the importance of having an independent judge who can’t be intimidated, and the unprecedented impact the verdict will have on American democracy. Eisen’s Trying Trumpis the one book you need by your side during the trial to understand what’s happening and why it’s so important.”–Richard W. Painter, Former chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush
