Trying Trump: A Guide to His First Election Interference Criminal Trial Paperback – April 9, 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
The ultimate insider’s guide to the first criminal trial of an American president: the New York election interference prosecution of Donald Trump.
Counsel in the first impeachment of Donald Trump and CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen has been hailed as “at the very pinnacle” of commentators addressing the former president’s court troubles. In this new guide to Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial, he explains the landmark prosecution—the first ever of a current or former President of the United States—and what to expect at every stage of the trial. Eisen makes the case that these proceedings concern Trump’s first election interference in 2016, opening the way for similar voter deception to hang onto power in 2020. The volume is an indispensable guide to what may prove to be one of the most important trials in our history.
Praise for Trying Trump
“Amazingly clear and thorough blueprint.”
–Laurence Tribe, Carl M. Loeb University Professor emeritus and Professor of Constitutional Law emeritus at Harvard Law School
“For legal geeks and for lay people who want to understand one of the most important trials the country will ever see, NormEisen has made the pleadings and the issues in the Manhattan DA's case readily understandable as we get close to the start of trial.”
–Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney and Distinguished Professor of the Practice of Law at the University of Alabama School of Law
“Amazing resource to understand all things about the trial prosecuted by my old office. A trial bible!”
–Karen Agnifilo, former Manhattan Chief Assistant District Attorney
“Norm Eisen gives readers an actual trial notebook, setting out the strategic calls, evidentiary issues, theories of the case -- as trial lawyers themselves bring to battle. It is invaluable.”
–Harry Litman, Former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Assistant Attorney General
“Everything you always wanted to know (‘But Were Afraid to Ask!’) about the case against Trump for election interference—great guide.”
–Shanlon Wu, former Assistant U.S. Attorney and Counsel to the U.S. Attorney General
“In Trying Trump, former White House ethics czar Norman Eisen with precision and great attention to detail explains the first criminal trial of a former president in U.S. history. Eisen brilliantly explains the evidence in this case, the likely prosecution and defense strategies, the importance of having an independent judge who can't be intimidated, and the unprecedented impact the verdict will have on American democracy. Eisen's Trying Trumpis the one book you need by your side during the trial to understand what's happening and why it's so important.”
–Richard W. Painter, Former chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush

About the author
Ambassador Norman Eisen (ret.) is the editor of “Trying Trump: A Guide to His First Election Interference Criminal Trial” (2024). He is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at Brookings and an expert on law, ethics, and anti-corruption. Eisen has been recognized as “at the very pinnacle” of the lawyers who provide public analysis on the trials of former president Donald Trump. That includes his definitive reports on all four prosecutions of Trump—the federal January 6 and Mar-a-Lago cases, the Georgia and New York state ones—as well as the New York civil fraud trial. He also frequently comments on these topics for CNN, where he serves as a legal analyst, and for the New York Times, where he regularly authors guest essays.
Eisen has served in a variety of government roles, most recently as the special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2020 for the impeachment and trial of President Trump. Eisen was a “critical force in building the case for impeachment” (Washington Post). His book about his service in this role, “A Case for the American People: The United States v. Donald J. Trump” (Crown 2020), was praised as “tantalizing” (New York Times) and as “an important piece of the historical record” (Just Security). Eisen is also the author of “The Last Palace: Europe’s Turbulent Century in Five Lives and One Legendary House” (Crown 2018) as well as the editor of both “Overcoming Trumpery: How to Restore Ethics, the Rule of Law, and Democracy” (Brookings Institution Press 2022) and “Democracy’s Defenders: U.S. Embassy Prague, The Fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia, and Its Aftermath” (Brookings Institution Press 2020).
From January 2009 to January 2011, Eisen worked in the White House as special counsel and special assistant to the president for ethics and government reform. The press dubbed him “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” for his tough anti-corruption approach. He also advised President Obama on lobbying regulation, campaign finance law, and open government issues, helping to assure the most scandal-free White House in modern history. He was the White House Counsel lead on the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform and other aspects of the recovery from the Great Recession.
After his White House role, Eisen served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014. He helped develop innovative anti-corruption and transparency strategies in cooperation with U.S. and Czech law enforcement and other stakeholders. Eisen also helped advance U.S.-Czech security and defense initiatives and deepened economic ties between the two nations.
Eisen is currently the chair of the Anti-Corruption, Democracy, and Security (ACDS) project, a multi-year Brookings initiative that tackles corruption to promote democracy and global security. The ACDS project builds upon his earlier Leveraging Transparency to Reduce Corruption (LTRC) program, which was a forerunner in identifying and recommending best practices in transparency and accountability to fight corruption along the natural resource value chain. He also co-chairs the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group. In the multiple detailed reports he has co-authored on Ukraine’s anti-corruption journey, Eisen outlined recommendations to key stakeholders on how to drive forward Ukraine’s anti-corruption agenda and democratic future. He is the co-author of “The Democracy Playbook: 10 Commitments for Advancing Democracy,” offering a roadmap backed by social science for countries to prevent and reverse democratic backsliding.
Before entering the Obama administration, Eisen was a partner at the D.C. law firm, Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, where he specialized in litigation and investigations. His cases included Enron, the ADM antitrust case, the subprime financial collapse, the Clinton impeachment, and the 2000 and 2004 presidential recounts. He was named one of DC’s top lawyers by Washingtonian Magazine. He currently provides pro bono legal representation through his law firm, Eisen PLLC, including to the pro-democracy nonprofit organizations State Democracy Defenders Fund and State Democracy Defenders Action, as well as the Fund the Future PAC.
Eisen received his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1991 and his B.A. from Brown University in 1985, both with honors. He has been profiled in The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Politico, The Wall Street Journal, and Tablet. He was named in the Politico 50 list of thinkers shaping American politics and the Forward 50 list of American Jews. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC , The Atlantic, Politico, USA Today, and many other publications in the United States and internationally. He is the founder and former chair of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, founder and current chair of the States United Democracy Center, a board member of States United Action, founder and current chair of the State Democracy Defenders Fund, a board member of State Democracy Defenders Action, as well as a board member of the Democracy 21 Education Fund.
Eisen was credited by director Wes Anderson as an inspiration for the character of the crusading lawyer Deputy Kovacs in the 2014 film “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”

This clarity is maintained in his spelling out the issues and the processes involved in the trial.
Similarly, he lays out the strengths and weaknesses of the cases to be presented by both sides.
Finally, he analyses the various sentencing options available, if a guilty verdict is returned.
What takes me down to 4* is that he presents, with some relish, his expectations (a) that a guilty verdict will be returned and (b) that the sentence will involve incarceration.
Given this relish, he is open to the suspicion that his account is less objective than it really should be.
For all that, I recommend this book highly.
