Everything new in the book comes from our research in the 18 months since he left office. There is no doubt still more to learn and we're looking forward to the continuing reporting by our colleagues to inform us further about what happened. (3) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

In fact, like other reporters we worked assiduously day after day for four years to report everything we could learn about Trump in real time. Then after he left office, we embarked on this project to unearth what we did not know at the time. (2) — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to everyone who has already responded to "THE DIVIDER," which comes out next week. We're grateful for the positive reaction. Since some have asked, just want to be clear that we withheld no revelations while he was president. (1) — PolitiTweet.org

Trump once offered "a great deal" to Jordan’s King Abdullah: control of the West Bank. Abdullah did not want it. “I thought I was having a heart attack,” he recalled to an American friend. @azi on "THE DIVIDER: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021" w/@sbg1 https://t.co/I2hTKLExTK — PolitiTweet.org

Melania Trump worried that her husband was not taking Covid seriously enough. “You’re blowing this,” she told him. "This is serious. It's going to be really bad." @Kevinliptakcnn reports on "THE DIVIDER: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021." https://t.co/yrW9BGUSc8 — PolitiTweet.org

@MartinPengelly @sbg1 It's definitely an odd phrasing; I think he meant "taking" as in taking them away from Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

His wife Alice Starr said in an email she sent to friends: "Ken felt compelled to always respond to the call to serve his country, even when it meant enduring harsh criticism for his service." — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Baker @peterbakernyt

Starr became a Rorschach test for the post-Cold War generation, a hero to his admirers for taking on an indecent president who despoiled the Oval Office and a villain to his detractors who saw him as a sex-obsessed Inspector Javert driven by partisanship. https://t.co/GYM5r5q2SZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ken Starr, whose investigation uncovered a White House affair and led to Clinton's impeachment for lying under oath and obstructing justice, dies at 76. https://t.co/GYM5r5pv3r — PolitiTweet.org

For the Fed, the latest inflation report was a fresh sign that price increases have yet to come back under control — and that continued aggressive action may be needed to wrestle them lower. @jeannasmialek https://t.co/qbC5fcZihV — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats, who decry election deniers, have spent nearly $19 million across eight states in primaries this year amplifying far-right Republican candidates who have questioned or denied the validity of the 2020 election. ⁦@AnnieLinskey⁩ https://t.co/BjgsfKWABq — PolitiTweet.org

Trump-appointed judges are the most conservative of the past 10 presidents, study finds, particularly on civil rights, civil liberties, labor and economic regulation. But they are more liberal on criminal justice. ⁦@joshgerstein⁩ ⁦@kyledcheney⁩ https://t.co/jyG9jRSYfz — PolitiTweet.org
