Liar's Kingdom

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From MSNBC legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, an urgent summons to tackle the scourge of political lies in America--and prevent a second Trump term.

Donald Trump has told over 30,000 lies since taking office. But the problem isn't just him. It's a system that incentivizes deception, a media that normalizes it, and a culture that has lost its capacity for shared truth.

In Liar's Kingdom, Andrew Weissmann—who served as lead prosecutor in the Mueller investigation—reveals how Trump's lies are not just rhetorical excess, but a deliberate strategy of authoritarianism. Drawing on his deep knowledge of the Justice Department, the intelligence community, and the law itself, Weissmann dismantles the myth that 'both sides do it' and shows how Trump's unique brand of deceit represents an existential threat to American democracy.

But this book is not a diagnosis—it's a prescription. Weissmann offers a concrete, actionable blueprint for citizens, journalists, and policymakers to fight back. From legal reforms to media accountability to grassroots organizing, Liar's Kingdom is both a warning and a call to arms for anyone who cares about the survival of American democracy.

The question is no longer whether the lies will continue. The question is whether we have the courage to stop them.
