Romney Reveals Harsh Views of Fellow Republicans
“Even before Senator Mitt Romney of Utah announced he would not seek re-election next year, he made no secret of his disapproval of the direction of the Republican Party and former President Donald Trump’s grip on it,” the New York Times reports.
“But in a new, deeply reported biography, Romney: A Reckoning, set to be released next week, Mr. Romney goes beyond his broad disdain for the party and gives his unvarnished opinion of some of his fellow Republicans.”
“Such tell-all, insider books often foster a practice known as the ‘Washington read,’ in which boldfaced names immediately flip through the index to find out what damaging assessments may come to haunt them.”
What’s Left Unsaid
Out next week: What’s Left Unsaid: My Life at the Center of Power, Politics & Crisis by Melissa DeRosa.
The book gives “an insider’s view of the various public crises, including the Covid-19 response that ultimately swallowed Andrew Cuomo’s governorship,” the Washington Post reports.
It also describes an incident in which the lead reporter for the New York Times on Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandal was himself accused of the same offense he was documenting.

Trump Had a Price Not to Run
In an excerpt from his new book on Sam Bankman Fried, Michael Lewis has an anecdote about the crypto billionaire’s political maneuverings in summer 2022:
“As the plane descended into Washington, he was exploring the legality of paying Donald Trump himself not to run for president. His team had somehow created a back channel into the Trump operation and returned with the not terribly Earth-shattering news that Donald Trump might indeed have his price: $5 billion. Or so Sam was told by his team.”

Bonus Quote of the Day
The Trump White House Was More Chaotic Than We Knew
CNN: “In her new book Enough, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson paints the closing days of the Trump White House as even more chaotic and lawless than she previously disclosed in her shocking televised testimony last summer. President Donald Trump lashes out unpredictably and makes wild demands. Chief of staff Mark Meadows leaks classified documents to friendly right-wing media figures and burns documents. Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani gropes Hutchinson inappropriately the day of the Capitol insurrection.”
“She also depicts major Republican figures, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy, stating clearly behind the scenes what they refrained from telling the American people: that Joe Biden won the presidential election and Trump lost.”
She quotes Meadows in June 2020: “Cass, if I can get through this job and manage to keep Trump out of jail, I’ll have done a good job.”

Cassidy Hutchinson Reappears with More Trump Stories
“Cassidy Hutchinson, now 26, dropped out of sight last year after she testified in damning detail in a nationally televised committee hearing about President Donald Trump’s actions during and after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Facing blistering social media attacks from Mr. Trump and threats from his supporters, she retreated from Washington and cut off contacts with her former White House world,” the New York Times reports.
“Some 15 months later, the onetime staff member in Mr. Trump’s West Wing is heading back into the maelstrom with the publication of Enough, a memoir about her time as a top aide to Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s last chief of staff.”

Cassidy Hutchinson Says Giuliani Groped Her
Cassidy Hutchinson, the former Trump aide turned crucial January 6 witness, says in a new book that she was groped by Rudy Giuliani, who was “like a wolf closing in on its prey”, on the day of the attack on the Capitol, The Guardian reports.
Hutchinson says the former New York mayor turned Trump lawyer put his hand “under my blazer, then my skirt.”
She added: “I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh. He tilts his chin up. The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin.”

Why Tucker Carlson Soured on Ron DeSantis
Michael Wolff says Ron DeSantis was invited to Tucker Carlson’s home and it did not go well, according to an excerpt of his new book in New York Magazine.
“Impersonal, cold, uninterested in anything outside of himself. The Carlsons are dog people with four spaniels, the progeny of other spaniels they have had before, who sleep in their bed. DeSantis pushed the dog under the table. Had he kicked the dog? Susie Carlson’s judgment was clear: She did not ever want to be anywhere near anybody like that ever again. Her husband agreed… Forget Ron DeSantis.”

Rupert Murdoch Thought Tucker Carlson Was a Moderate
New York Magazine has an excerpt from Michael Wolff’s new book:
“Now President Trump was its star, a change so big that it demanded a reshuffling of the prime-time lineup. Sean Hannity, the former ratings laggard who had revived his career with an unquestioning devotion to Trump — and emerged as one of Trump’s inner-circle advisers — was given the 9 p.m. slot in a sop to MAGA world. But the biggest change was that Murdoch gave Tucker Carlson, a former magazine journalist who had served unremarkable tenures as a host at both CNN and MSNBC, an 8 p.m. anchor slot.”
“Murdoch made the unexpected move because he believed Carlson to be a moderate Republican who could be a counterweight — someone who could pull Fox away from reflexive Trumpism. The opposite happened: Carlson became a firebrand of the new Trump order and cable television’s ratings winner. The two men, Trump and Carlson, were suddenly the pillars of the post-Ailes network, and there was not much that even Murdoch could do about it.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Pens Tell-All
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) “is getting ready to settle some scores with an autobiography that could pave the way to higher office — including the vice presidency,” the Washington Examiner reports.
Said Greene: “I wanted people to hear my side of the story. Some of it is setting the record straight.”
She also acknowledged that the book has a higher purpose of laying the groundwork for a bid for higher office: “I have options. Anything from a governor’s race to a Senate seat.”
