Publisher's Summary

In the third volume of his Proof series, New York Times best-selling author Seth Abramson takes listeners on a deep dive into the Ukraine scandal, revealing it to be more sinister, complex, and transnational than previously thought. Abramson’s research on Trump administration corruption positions the Ukraine scandal as the foreseeable culmination of years of clandestine machinations involving scores of players, from Beijing to Budapest, Ankara to Caracas, Warsaw to Jerusalem, Kyiv to Riyadh, and Moscow to DC.  

While many know about the July 2019 telephone call that ignited the Ukraine scandal, most don’t know about the concurrent attempts by members of Trump’s inner circle to take over Ukraine’s national gas company and bolster dangerous pro-Kremlin Ukrainian oligarchs - moves that would have benefited Putin and destabilized Ukraine’s government and economy.

In Beijing, Trump’s dealings with the Chinese government not only enriched him and his family, but also culminated in him successfully seeking 2020 election interference from Xi Jinping in the form of closely held information about Joe Biden. In Venezuela, many of the actors involved in the Ukraine scandal engaged in similarly secretive, Kremlin-friendly negotiations that undermined US policy. In Syria and Iraq, Trump’s personal indebtedness to autocrats in Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE cost untold lives. And Abramson brings the story back to an increasingly fractured and depleted United States, where the COVID-19 pandemic exposes the staggering domestic consequences of the Trump administration’s foreign machinations.

In Proof of Corruption, Seth Abramson lays bare Trump’s decades-long pattern of corruption. This globe-spanning narrative is an urgent warning about the unprecedented threat posed by a corrupt president and his administration.

Historic

Abramson’s book will be an important historical document from a particularly dark chapter of American history. The research was exhaustive and the curatorial piecing together of the monumental scope of political malfeasance and corruption on the part of Trump, his family, hangers on, and GOP enablers provides a level of detail that will be mined for years to come.

The book is long and dense. Listening takes time and effort especially to keep track of the web of a cast of characters of a global scale. The narration is at a pretty quick clip with a tone that is forceful and adamant. This can be tiring as there’s hardly room to digest and reflect as more material and intricate plots are followed up one after the other. Almost every sentence is revelatory. Petkoff did an admirable job with pronunciation of a rogues gallery from the dregs of The Ukrainian political underclass and Kremlin controlled money men at the centre of so much of this shocking story.

Only on America

I have listened to every single book on Trump over the last 5 years and it's unreal how really smart people drink the Trump Coolaid. But what bothers me is how 1 Man that lies every time he opens his mouth. But how can 1 man have this much power and fuck up so many others.. I am officially stop ✋🏽 to read anything else about The Worest POTUS in history and Jan 20 2021 can't come fast enough!

Ciao for now,

Trump Criminal Organization of the USA!
