From a key member of the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees, an inside look at the impeachment of a rogue president-updated for the paperback

How do you stop a rogue president? How do you protect our country from a man who lies, who obstructs justice, and who seeks to cheat with foreign powers to get reelected? Our constitution offers one remedy: impeachment. Thanks to the courageous actions of public servants who came forward to report his abuses of power, on December 18, 2019, President Donald J. Trump became just the third president in US history to be impeached by the House of Representatives.

In Endgame, Congressman Eric Swalwell offers his personal account of his path to office and how he and his colleagues resisted, investigated, and impeached a corrupt president. After the shock of the 2016 election and Trump's inauguration (including the luncheon afterward), Swalwell, as a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Judiciary Committee, quickly became involved in pushing back against Trump's outrageous actions as he sought to get to the bottom of foreign interference in our elections. But Republicans were in control of the investigation, and it became clear that taking back the House was essential.

Swalwell takes readers inside Congress and through the impeachment process, from Trump's disgraceful phone call with the Ukrainian president, just one day after Robert Mueller testified to Congress, to depositions in the SCIF, and from caucus meetings and conversations with the Speaker to the bombshell public hearings and the historic vote, and then what followed next-the holding of the articles, the news of more possible witnesses, and the sham trial in the Senate. Endgame is fascinating, a gripping read by a unique witness to extraordinary events.

Reviews

It doesn't hurt that the supersmart author is a sure bet to be a major player in our nation's future." -- Laurence H. Tribe * Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Constitutional Law, Harvard Law School *
"In an administration where a lot of effort is invested in hiding the truth from the public, Congressman Swalwell's firsthand account makes for very interesting reading. Here are the details of what is really happening in the halls of Congress and what really happened during the House's impeachment investigation. It's a must-read for any serious student of the Trump administration." -- Joyce Vance * former U.S. Attorney and Distinguished Professor of the Practice of Law, University of Alabama Schoo *
