Pulitzer Hall, 2950 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 Joseph D. Jamail Lecture Hall, 3rd Floor
Join Pulitzer-winning Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, in conversation with Dean Steve Coll, to discuss their new book "A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America." Leonnig and Rucker, who were part of the newspaper's reporting team that won a 2018 Pulitzer for its reporting on Trump and Russia, describe, in previously unreported detail, a dangerously "uninformed" and at times erratic commander in chief. Leonnig, a national investigative reporter focusing on the White House and government accountability, is a three-time Pulitzer winner for projects including detailed accounts of security failures and misconduct inside the Secret Service, and the U.S. government's secret, broad surveillance of Americans. Rucker, the Washington Post's White House bureau chief, leads the newspaper's coverage of the Trump administration. He previously covered Congress, the Obama White House, and the 2016 presidential campaigns. Rucker won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, as well as the George Polk Award, for coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Both Leonnig and Rucker are on-air contributors and analysts for NBC News and MSNBC. No tickets or RSVP needed to attend, and seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Event organizers are grateful for the generous support of the Sevellon-Brown Fund.
