The Big Cheat

In The Big Cheat, Pulitzer Prize­–winning reporter David Cay Johnston exposes the extensive financial misdeeds of Donald Trump and his family throughout Trump’s presidency. As Trump transformed the White House into a profitable venture, over $1.7 billion entered his accounts amid questionable dealings with foreign governments, lobbyists, and favor seekers. Johnston provides a thorough examination of the corruption entwined with Trump's enterprises, detailing the implications for national security and the financial burden placed on American taxpayers amid Trump's continued fiscal struggles and looming debt.
