Masters of Corruption
How the Federal Bureaucracy Sabotaged the Trump Presidency
Book • 2024
This book tells a remarkable true story of bureaucratic assassination during the Trump presidency, revealing in vivid detail how career federal employees thwarted President Trump's efforts to drain the swamp.
Mark Moyar, a senior political appointee at the US Agency for International Development, discovered evidence of corruption involving five career bureaucrats and reported it to agency officials in 2018.
Senior bureaucrats orchestrated a sophisticated retaliatory plot, which began with a fraudulent accusation of divulging classified information and ended with the termination of Moyar's employment.
The book exposes a multi-agency cover-up and highlights the failures of the government to protect employees from retaliation.
It also provides a roadmap for future administrations to restore integrity to the United States government.
