PREORDER/ Proof of Corruption is out 9/8, and can be preordered—hardcover, ebook, or audio—below. More preorder links are at the Macmillan website. Kirkus Reviews calls it "careful and exhaustive...a strong case for Trump's outsized, boundless corruption." https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250272998?tag=macsupaduinstalpa-20

NOTE/ This excerpt has many endnotes; I've removed them for clarity. As with prior direct-to-twitter excepts—all now available at Macmillan (see link below for an index)—I'll use "¶" for paragraph breaks, "§" for section breaks, and "" for key passages. http://www.sethabramson.net 

NOTE2/ As with last week's Erik Prince excerpt, this excerpt covers a lot of ground; it includes Hannity but also much more. Don't be surprised if it goes to both Ukraine () and Iran () and covers both Kremlin disinformation () and Trumpist anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

BACKGROUND/ Sean Hannity has secretly been Trump's top policy adviser for years, speaking to him—and other Trump agents—several times daily. But he hasn't been seriously questioned as a Trump collaborator—though he has evidence critical to ongoing federal criminal investigations.
