National Press Club Book Event: Carol Leonnig & Aaron C. Davis, "Injustice"

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis will discuss their new book, "Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department," at a Headliners Book Event on Thursday, Feb. 19 at 6 p.m.

"Injustice" explores the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the Justice Department, and how delays in investigating President Trump's campaign to overturn the 2020 election enabled his return to power in 2024. The reporters, tapping sources deep in the ranks of three administrations, take readers inside the Justice Department, the FBI and Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation to reveal the daily battles between those who wanted to preserve the rule of law and partisan disruptors who sought to undo it. Politico called the book "engaging and enraging.

Carol Leonnig, a five-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, is the author of three bestselling books. Before joining MSNOW in 2025 as senior investigative correspondent, Leonnig reported for The Washington Post. Aaron C. Davis is an investigative reporter for The Washington Post and a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. He was the lead writer and reporter on the Post's investigative series into the January 6 attack, which won the George Polk Award and the Toner Prize.

The event will include a discussion with the author and a book signing. Ticket prices are $5 for and $10 for general admission.
