Justice on Trial

Justice Anthony Kennedy slipped out of the Supreme Court building on June 27, 2018, and traveled incognito to the White House to inform President Donald Trump that he was retiring, setting in motion a political process that his successor, Brett Kavanaugh, would denounce three months later as a “national disgrace” and a “circus. ” Justice on Trial is an insider account of how Trump's appointment of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court became a national crisis -- based on extraordinary access to more than one hundred key figures including the president and Supreme Court justices.
