House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has landed a deal with Penguin Random House to publish a book about former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment.
The book, titled “Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could,” is set to be published on Oct. 26.
According to a release shared with Politico, the California Democrat’s book will blame the Republican Party for what he describes as Trump’s ” destructive immorality” while in office.
“For all his cynicism and shrewdness, Trump could not have come so close to succeeding if his party had stood up to him, if good people hadn’t been silent, or worse, allowed themselves to become complicit,” Schiff says in the release.
“I wanted to relate the private struggles, the triumphs of courage, but more often, the slow surrender of people I worked with and admired to the shameful immorality of a president who could not be trusted.”
The congressman tweeted about the book Tuesday.
“I wanted to explain my journey from prosecutor to congressman with a reputation for bipartisanship, to liberal lightning rod, scourge of the right and archenemy of a president,” Schiff said.
“What it was like leading the impeachment of a president. And why our democracy became endangered.”
