Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department 

An Instant New York Times Bestseller. “An amazing piece of work . . . This is not just a series of newly reported anecdotes and pieces of information. It is a remarkable thesis about how Trump effectively broke the Justice Department in his first term by bullying it.” —Rachel Maddow, The Rachel Maddow Show. From Pulitzer Prize–winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis, Injustice is a shocking, deeply investigated account of the subversion of the Justice Department over the last decade, culminating in President Donald Trump upending this cornerstone of democracy and threatening America’s rule of law. Throughout his first administration, Trump worked to politicize the nation’s top law enforcement agency, pressuring officials to shield him, target his enemies, and help him cling to power after the 2020 defeat—damage the department has never fully recovered from. Injustice reveals how delays in investigating Trump under Attorney General Merrick Garland hindered accountability and enabled Trump’s return to power. With never-before-told accounts, Leonnig and Davis take readers inside prosecutors’ internal battles, FBI agents’ fears, and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s high-stakes race to investigate classified documents and attacks on democracy. Drawing from sources across three presidencies, the authors expose the secret war for the soul of the Justice Department, how propaganda and partisanship shredded its foundations, and why Trump’s conflict with the DOJ marks a historic turning point. A jaw-dropping narrative of enablers undermining democracy, heroes fighting for the rule of law, and a call to action for all who believe in liberty and justice for all.
