Proof of Corruption traces in exacting detail the clandestine schemes of Trump and his cadre of agents and advisers from 2015 onward with a special emphasis on Michael Cohen Donald Trump Jr. Sean Hannity Bill Barr Roger Stone Rudy Giuliani Erik Prince Michael Flynn Lev Parnas Jared Kushner Paul Manafort Rick Gates Mick Mulvaney Devin Nunes Rick Perry Mike Pompeo Gordon Sondland John Solomon and Joe diGenova as well as the presidents most powerful foreign allies including Vladimir Putin Recep Erdogan Benjamin Netanyahu Xi Jinping Mohammed bin Salman Mohammed bin Zayed Dmitry Firtash Oleg Deripaska Konstantin Kilimnik Viktor Shokin Yuri Lutsenko and many others. While the facts of each Trump bribery scandal are complex the pattern of corruption remains the same whether it involves Trump seeking to appease Vladimir Putin by returning Ukraines energy industry to Kremlin control; Trump freezing aid to Ukraine to extort bogus "intelligence" on Joe Biden from corrupt Ukrainian prosecutors; Trump escalating a trade war with China while privately cutting election-dirt deals with Xi Jinping; Trump ignoring November 2019 intelligence warning of a dangerous virus outbreak in China due to his business interests in Beijing; or Trump promoting a dangerous and ineffective treatment for COVID-19 at the behest of his richest campaign donors. With Donald Trump all roads lead (by design) to personal enrichment. Sometimes hes seeking to fill his 2020 reelection coffers and sometimes his illicit self-dealing and epic corruption center on his personal business relationships; sometimes the crimes and their subsequent cover-ups are domestic and sometimes theyre international. But the audacity of Trumps offenses and the need for byzantine schemes to hide them remains the same. With thousands of citations from the worlds most respected media outlets Proof of Corruption tells the story of a bribery and election-tampering scheme that crosses years and stretches from China to Ukraine Turkey to Venezuela Hungary to Israel Russia to Saudi Arabia. It is a plot that empowers Americas adversaries to author U.S. foreign policy and tamper with our elections even as it frees Donald Trump to replace Americas national interest with his own. Proof of Corruption reveals a harrowing pattern of international and domestic bribery that is shocking criminal and a clear and present danger to America.
