American Kompromat: The Craig Unger Interview

<p dir="ltr">Now that Jeffrey Epstein is dead (<em>is he?</em>) and Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison, who is serving their billionaire global market of pedophiles? Is Bill Barr, with his connections to traitor FBI agent and Russian spy Robert Hanssen, a Russian asset like Trump? Why isn't the mainstream media sounding the alarm about the many Kremlin connections to Trump and his family, as well as Russia's infiltration of the so-called "Deep State," the FBI, and the CIA?</p> <p dir="ltr">In this special live taping of Gaslit Nation, celebrating George Orwell's birthday, we break down all this and more with fearless investigative journalist Craig Unger. He is the author of several internationally bestselling books on the far-right's war on democracy, including <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/house-of-trump-house-of-putin-the-untold-story-of-donald-trump-and-the-russian-mafia-craig-unger/9579307?ean=9781524743512"> House of Trump, House of Putin</a>; <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/house-of-bush-house-of-saud-the-secret-relationship-between-the-world-s-two-most-powerful-dynasties-craig-unger/951832?ean=9780743253390"> House of Bush, House of Saud</a>; and <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/635379/american-kompromat-by-craig-unger/"> American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power, and Treachery</a>.
