Join tonight to read the entire American Monster series, and access the podcast versions of the print reports.
When writing the fourth installment of American Monster, my fingers flew across the keys — investigating Trump-Russia has been my life’s work. And yet, even I was shocked at the totality of Trump’s depravity.
My podcast partners and I will be chatting about the series tonight on RadPod & Chill, and also the lessons we learned from Ruth Ben-Ghiat.
Thank you to everyone for your support of independent investigative journalism, and women who fight facists.
I have a banger running in Byline Supplement this weekend. It never gets old.

American Monster - Part 4 preview
I intentionally profiled Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and Roy Cohn as the first three in my American Monster series before getting to Donald Trump. Trump does not exist in his current form without Manafort, Stone, and Cohn.

Political ratf**ker Roger Stone had been grooming Trump for office since the ‘greed is good’ era. Stone, who like Trump, was mentored by Roy Cohn, a mob lawyer with a gift for amorality.
Roy Cohn taught Trump and Stone to deny, deflect, countersue, and never admit defeat, while using indictments as an opportunity to manipulate the narrative away from facts and toward victimhood with a dose of patriotism and make-believing prosecutors had a vendetta.
In order to clearly see these US criminals impacts on global fascism, please read each of their profiles before diving into the fourth in the series — disgraced, impeached, and indicted US criminal Donald Trump.
