Unmaking the Presidency authors made 'terrifying' edit after learning Andrew McCabe might be prosecuted

The co-author of a new book about President Trump said he made a “terrifying” last-minute edit after learning the Justice Department was considering criminal charges against fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Susan Hennessey, the executive editor of Lawfare, described on Tuesday how uncomfortable it was to come to the realization that the agency, led by Attorney General William Barr, might go after Trump’s political rivals, forcing a rewrite of a small passage in Unmaking the Presidency: Donald Trump’s War on the World’s Most Powerful Office.
