Steve Bannon, Unrepentant
The piece that may have precipitated Steve Bannon’s dismissal from Donald Trump’s White House – a Scaramucci-style candid call to a journalist – on the record.
The Showman
A May 2016 profile of Preet Bharara, the charismatic United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who announced yesterday that he had been fired by the Trump administration after refusing to stand down.
Undercover With a Border Militia
A reporter spends time with the highly armed, highly trained militias roaming the US-Mexico border on their own private missions.
Anthony Scaramucci Called Me to Unload About White House Leakers, Reince Priebus, and Steve Bannon
If freshly minted White House Communications Director Anthony “Mooch” Scaramucci appears to you like a three episode antagonist from a 5.2/10-on-IMdb show you watch anyway because you wish the West Wing was still going, then this story is 100% true to type.

A profile of Jared Kushner, a man who apparently until recently espoused “inoffensively Bloombergian political values”, now Senior Adviser to his father-in-law, President-Elect Trump.

A look behind the scenes at how H.R McMaster adapted from the military into his role of National Security Adviser, and the reality of dealing with a boss who takes in little of what you say.
