Aide’s Book Exposes Trump’s Pressure Tactics on GOP

The New York Times reviews Glory, Grief, and the Gavel: An Inside Guide to Running for Speaker of the House by John Leganski.

“It is unusual for a top congressional aide to write a tell-all book, and much of Mr. Leganski’s is filled with the kind of wonky detail that only a political junkie would crave. But his real-time account of the arm-twisting sessions that Mr. Trump has employed for years to keep Republican lawmakers in line provides fresh insight into a familiar phenomenon that is seldom recounted on the record by someone who witnessed it firsthand.”
