1:00:27Now PlayingPhilip Rucker & Carol Leonnig, of the Washington Post, discuss the Trump Presidency in their book "A Very Stable Genius" with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell.
From their respective roles as White House Bureau chief and Pulitzer Prize-winning national investigative reporter for The Washington Post, Rucker and Leonnig have covered the Trump administration extensively. As they show in this detailed account, when examined carefully, the apparent chaos of Trump’s presidency reveals certain patterns. Drawing on extensive original reporting and dozens of new interviews with key figures, the authors illuminate the larger meaning of Trump’s unprecedented use of his office by plunging us directly into the West Wing as he faces the impeachment inquiry, retracing the Mueller investigation, following aides as they control the damage from Trump’s interactions with world leaders, and more.

She also was part of the Post teams awarded Pulitzers in 2017, for reporting on Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election, and in 2014, for revealing the U.S. government's secret, broad surveillance of Americans. Leonnig is also an on-air contributor to NBC News and MSNBC.
