Liar’s Kingdom

From MS NOW legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, an urgent summons to tackle the scourge of political lies in America—and prevent a figure like Donald Trump from ever rising again.
Book • 2024
In 'Liar’s Kingdom,' Andrew Weissmann draws on his decades of experience as a federal prosecutor to examine the threats posed by systemic deceit in modern politics.

He analyzes the methods used to manipulate legal and political institutions and offers legal and civic strategies to defend democratic norms.

Combining case studies, insider perspective, and normative argument, Weissmann argues for concrete reforms to limit abuse of executive power and restore accountability.

The book provides both a critique of recent administrations and a roadmap for lawyers, policymakers, and citizens who seek to protect the rule of law.

Written for a broad audience, it blends legal analysis with practical recommendations for preserving democratic institutions.
