ONLINE ZOOM EVENT Trump’s Days of Rage in the White House: A Conversation With Bob Woodward

SPEAKER BOB WOODWARD Washington Post Associate Editor, Two-Time Pulitzer Prize Winner and Best-selling Author Wednesday, February 24, 2021 8:00pm HKT on Zoom

During Donald Trump’s tumultuous presidency, legendary investigative journalist and author Bob Woodward produced two best-selling books that pulled back the curtain on the often chaotic inner workings of the administration. In Fear, Woodward revealed how aides would try to circumvent Trump’s impulsive decisions, including stealing draft orders from the president’s desk in what Woodward called “an administrative coup d’etat.” In his follow-up book Rage, Woodward uncovered how the president knew early on about the deadly threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic but chose to publicly downplay it. Drawing on his unprecedented access and his insight, Woodward will share his views on Trump’s final days and what future role he might play in American politics. Moderated by FCC President Keith Richburg.

Bob Woodward is an associate editor of The Washington Post, where he has worked since 1971. He is perhaps best known as part of the reporting duo, with Carl Bernstein, that uncovered the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon and won the 1973 Pulitzer Prize. He shared his second Pulitzer in 2003 as the lead reporter on the team covering the 9/11 terror attacks. Woodward has authored or co-authored 20 books, most of them international best-sellers, starting with All The President’s Men, and he has become known as the foremost chronicler of the modern American presidency. Bob Schieffer of CBS News has said Woodward “may be the best reporter of all time.”
