Matt Whitaker, who became acting attorney general after President Trump canned Jeff Sessions, will be out May 19 with a book titled: "Above the Law: The Inside Story of How the Justice Department Tried to Subvert President Trump."
Why it matters: It's not every day — or every decade — that a former head of a department accuses his old workplace of trying to sabotage the president.
- The cover shows the faces of former FBI officials James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok.
