In Find Me the Votes, two years of immersive reporting from Isikoff and Klaidman have produced the most authoritative and dramatic account yet of a defeated president's conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and how a Georgia's local prosecutor – a daughter of the civil rights movement – – decided to indict him and his allies for his desperate attempt to hold on to power. From the beginning, Fani Willis viewed Donald Trump's crimes as a matter of voting rights and an attempt by the former president to deprive Georgia citizens of the right to vote, a right for which his ancestors had bled.
Isikoff and Klaidman take us inside the heart of both the nerve center of Trump's efforts to steal the election and the DA's team of prosecutors as they build their case against the president. Their reporting reveals new information about the plot to criminally seize voting equipment in several states; Sidney Powell’s attempt to obtain preemptive pardons from Trump; and revealing communications between the president and his co-conspirators. We see the lawsuits take shape in Willis' office in the face of vicious threats of violent retaliation from Trump supporters.
With bestselling original reporting and exclusive access to thousands of secret documents, emails, text messages and audio recordings, Find Me the Votes is investigative journalism at its finest. The authors also conducted exclusive interviews with key sources in the Trump conspiracy, as well as the president's top targets, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the Fulton County prosecutor's team, including hours of interviews with Fani Willis herself. This is a gripping contemporary story and an enduring account of the prosecution of a president who tested the rule of law like no president ever has before. Isikoff and Klaidman have written a story for all ages.
