Summary

A veteran reporter long known for asking tough, blunt questions, Acosta had survived the gauntlet of covering Trump's 2016 presidential campaign thinking that he'd seen it all. But as Trump prepared to take the oath of office, Acosta landed in unexpected territory: suddenly unwilling to tolerate Trump's relentless attacks on the press, as well as on his employer, CNN, he inadvertently found himself at the center of Trump's war on the media. Here Acosta tells the full story of his experience covering the Trump campaign and administration, offering an insider's account of how President Trump has used his war on the media to undermine the very fabric of our democracy
