Talks & Entertainment

This event will stream live on C-SPAN.

Michael Wolff’s account of the first year of the Trump administration—based on more than 200 interviews with President Trump, most members of his senior staff, and many of the people they in turn spoke to—delves behind the barrage of tweets, accusations, and denials to offer a view of the inner workings of the West Wing.

In Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, Wolff, an author, journalist and media critic, details what President Trump’s staff really thinks of him, explains what inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama, lays out the reasons former FBI Director James Comey was fired, explores the tense relationship between Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, identifies who’s been directing the Trump administration’s strategy since Bannon’s departure, and homes in on the secret to communicating with the President.

Wolff is a regular columnist for USA Today, Vanity Fair, and The Hollywood Reporter. He is the author of six prior books, including the bestselling Burn Rate and The Man Who Owns the News. In conversation with Jonathan Capehart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, member of The Washington Post editorial board, host of the “Cape Up” podcast and MSNBC contributor.
