Imagine the scene: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu sitting face to face with President Donald Trump and a small group of trusted advisors, giving a slideshow presentation making the case to go to war in Iran. And all of this taking place inside the White House Situation Room.
That’s what happened according to a new book, Regime Change, by New York Times Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman.
Swan joined Mehdi Unfiltered to discuss many of the shocking revelations in his book, giving an inside look at Trump and Netanyahu’s love-hate relationship.
“Are they best pals?” Mehdi asks. “No, the relationship’s very bad right now,” replies Swan.
Swan says in the course of writing, it became clear to him and his co-author that “the second term Trump administration was almost unrecognizable from the first,” particularly in the way Trump is wielding his presidential power. “We were covering a form of regime change in our own country.”
The two also discuss:
Who is Natalie Harp and why her ‘love’ letters to Trump put her on Secret Service’s radar
The crisis control meeting inside the Situation Room about the Epstein files
Marco Rubio’s lifelong wish to free Cuba
Stephen Miller as a driving force of domestic policy: “He has his hands in everything”
The secrecy around President Trump’s health.
