About
In the third volume of his Proof series, author Seth Abramson takes listeners on a deep dive into the Ukraine scandal, revealing it to be more sinister, complex, and transnational than previously thought. Abramson's research on Trump administration corruption positions the Ukraine scandal as the foreseeable culmination of years of clandestine machinations involving scores of players, from Beijing to Budapest, Ankara to Caracas, Warsaw to Jerusalem, Kyiv to Riyadh, and Moscow to DC. While many know about the July 2019 telephone call that ignited the Ukraine scandal, most don't know about the concurrent attempts by members of Trump's inner circle to take over Ukraine's national gas company and bolster dangerous pro-Kremlin Ukrainian oligarchs - moves that would have benefited Putin and destabilized Ukraine's government and economy. In Beijing, Trump's dealings with the Chinese government not only enriched him and his family, but also culminated in him successfully seeking 2020 election interference from Xi Jinping in the form of closely held information about Joe Biden. In Venezuela, many of the actors involved in the Ukraine scandal engaged in similarly secretive, Kremlin-friendly negotiations that undermined US policy. In Syria and Iraq, Trump's personal indebtedness to autocrats in Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE cost untold lives. And Abramson brings the story back to an increasingly fractured and depleted United States, where the COVID-19 pandemic exposes the staggering domestic consequences of the Trump administration's foreign machinations.
