Trump / Russia: A Definitive History
by Seth Hettena
View on GoodreadsStart with the collapse of Donald Trump's casino empire and follow his dealings with Russian money and power all the way to the White House. That's the route Seth Hettena takes, writing while Robert Mueller's investigation was still under way, and it leaves you weighing whether Trump was indebted to Russia.
Core ideas
- Deal-makers and financiers: Trump cultivated ties to Russian money and power over decades, starting with his first contacts with Russian deal-makers and financiers.
- The pattern: Questionable associates, tangled transactions and odd episodes accumulate into the case for asking whether he was in Russia's debt.
- Before the report: Published by Melville House in 2018, it predates the Mueller report, so the special counsel's findings aren't part of it.
