Washington Babylon: From George Washington to Donald Trump, Scandals that Rocked the Nation
Political, financial, erotic, and bizarre. This is a snapshot of more than 125 scandals that have rocked the nation’s capital and beyond.
Since America’s founding, the nation’s capital has experienced more than its share of scandals; thankfully, Washington Babylon explores some of the dirtiest secrets that have occurred throughout US history. Some are from the earliest days of America’s founding and include the most famous people in history, like George Washington. Others are still fresh in our minds, as the dust has not even settled. In between, US history is littered with scandals from nearly all walks of life that were the most talked-about stories at the time. Many past scandals remain infamous, such as Watergate, Chappaquiddick, and Abscam. Other scandals that were once the biggest stories of the day have faded into obscurity. Washington Babylon reveals new details in some scandals that were not known when the story first broke, offering a whole new perspective for discussion. This is the most comprehensive collection of American scandals that will educate, entertain, shock, and perhaps, even titillate the reader.

Tried but couldn't finish reading this one. Was starting to get suspicious of the book when I noticed that there seemed to be a preponderance of scandals involving Democrats. The chapter on Russian interference in our elections and the Mueller Report ended it for me because it rehashed all the talking points used to discredit the investigation and Russian interference. Extremely one sided... This page on the author's website is enlightening as to where he is coming from. https://markhyman.tv/observations
