Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Christmas night in 2018 was spent with the family, eating and reading books. I had to leave because something had come up. I was not able to discuss it, but I was afraid I had to leave right away. #2 I made several calls to my good friend and occasional White House deputy chief of staff Dan Walsh. Walsh was in charge of planning and executing the highly classified and top-secret mission of the next forty-eight hours. #3 On Christmas night in 2017, Air Force One took off with no fanfare from Andrews. The president and first lady were on board, along with Acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, National Security Advisor John Bolton, and more than 40 other US Secret Service agents and White House staff. #4 I met with the Washington bureau chiefs for the five major television news outlets that are part of the presidential press pool. We confiscated each participant’s phone before the meeting, and put them in protected lockers.
