Romney Reveals Hundreds of Emails to Book Author

February 9, 2023 at 7:37 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) “has turned over hundreds and hundreds of private emails, text messages and diary entries to reporter McCay Coppins for a book coming in October — including real-time communications among many of the most powerful figures in American politics,” Axios reports.

“This volume of disclosure is unheard of for a major sitting officeholder — a trove historians dream of but rarely get. The emails and journal pages span Romney’s 2012 campaign as the Republican presidential nominee.”

“For nearly two years, Romney secretly met with Coppins, a staff writer for The Atlantic and fellow member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — the Mormons.”
