Writers Bloc presents New York Times White House reporter Jonathan Swan and Todd Purdum

‍

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? And what about those Epstein Files and the surrounding scandals?

‍

In their new book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, Stellar New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan focus on Trump’s first year in office from his second term—and offer evidence pertaining to the president’s seemingly limitless power to upend accepted norms.

‍

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. They will be in conversation with Todd

Purdum, former Los Angeles bureau chief and 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.
