The Trump Book Boom

“A wave of Donald Trump-focused books is due to crash upon the American public in 2025,” Status reports.

“Jonathan Karl, the ABC News chief Washington correspondent, is working on a book about the former president, due out next year, according to people familiar with the matter. Karl has spoken to Trump via phone on multiple occasions in recent months. He’s drawn on those conversations, which have occurred during key moments on the campaign trail, for reporting on ABC News, but will also surely reference them in his forthcoming book for Penguin Random House.”

“Karl joins a number of other prominent journalists who have inked deals to write about the former president, including: The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan; The Washington Post‘s Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf; NBC News’ Jonathan Allen and The Hill‘s Amie Parnes; and Politico‘s Alex Isenstadt.”
