Among the bizarre factoids in Michael Bender's new book, "Frankly, We Did Win This Election," was the ways in which new President Donald Trump worked to circumvent all of the traditional rules and security barriers put in place.

One such rule was that then-chief of staff John Kelly listen in on all of Trump's calls. Traditionally, calls are made through the White House system, but Trump apparently wasn't about to do that.

The final chapter of Michael Wolff's new book, "Landslide", contains an interview with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago where he quickly bounces from his thoughts about one person to another.

After trashing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Trump celebrated that he "got a lot of judges approved." Taking over the judicial branch was McConnell's top priority. Trump then pivoted to talking about now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation was tumultuous to say the least.

Another selection of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack videos revealed the harrowing scene as the violent mob tried to pull police officers out of the interior doors of the building back into the crowd.

As part of Michael Foy's case, BuzzFeed justice reporter Zoe Tillman notes that the videos show him using a hockey stick to beat the officers. The first video shows Foy, according to the government prosecutors. The second shows people mocking BLM chanting I can't breathe." As the man they say is Foy swings the stick again, others cheer and chant, "USA!"

In Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig's new book, I Alone Can Fix It, spends ample time talking about President Donald Trump's White House through the eyes of several people watching as the end drew near. One such person was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, who revealed the horrifying scene that unfolded in the final days of the Trump administration, the Washington Post reported.

The Joint Chiefs had a moment where they actually discussed resigning, one-by-one if they were ordered by Trump to do something illegal or dangerous. Trump grew increasingly volatile as Jan. 20 grew closer and the

It was Donald Trump's second impeachment, but this time around, fewer lawyers were willing to work with him. One who was, David Schoen, had a meltdown moments before the legal team was about to begin the trial.

Michael Wolff's new book Landslide walks through the strange factoids of the legal team that made up Trump's defense. First, there was Adam. No one knew who Adam was, but the team was waylayed leaving for the Capitol in their caravan because Adam was taking a law school quiz on Zoom.

Apparently, the rumors of a feud between Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon were true. In Landslide, the new book about Donald Trump's final months in office, author Michael Wolff explains that the first-son-in-law encouraged Bill Barr to indict Bannon.

Bannon had started a "charity" with allies in an attempt to fund Trump's border wall with private donations. The cash poured in for the "wall" at a time when the Trump campaign actually needed the money, having blown at least $1 billion with two months to go before the election.

In Michael Wolff's new book, Landslide, he describes President Donald Trump as furious and fearful about potentially being attacked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

When protests broke out in Portland and Seattle, Carlson was broadcasting it as if the entire city was under attack. While Trump initially had empathy for George Floyd after watching the horrific murder video, when he saw the violence in the streets he was undone.

The books about Donald Trump's final years in office are slowly stacking up as they're being released -- and Trump himself has bragged that he's given over 22 interviews for upcoming books about him.

Philip Rucker And Carol Leonnig's new book, I Alone Can Fix It, describes what some were facing in the Capitol during the attack on Jan. 6. In an excerpt given to the Daily Beast, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) recalled what happened to her in a conversation with Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

51-year-old Florida resident Daniel Slater was arrested last year for his role in a murder-for-hire plot to kill his ex-girlfriend, her sister and the sister's husband.

But new facts reveal that he was trying to pin it on Black Lives Matter, NBC News reported.

As the White House emptied when President Donald Trump lost, Michael Wolff described it as a void where overt crackpots like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were able to totally influence his thinking.

In his new book, Landslide, Wolff describes Giuliani as looking for a scapegoat to cover for the fact that he lost every lawsuit he attempted for Trump. He fixed his eyes on Vice President Mike Pence.

Just months before the election, President Donald Trump came down with a severe case of COVID-19 after he'd spent months downplaying the dangers the virus posed to Americans' health.

After a "super spreader" event in the White House Rose Garden, the virus spread through the Republican Party as 150 people huddled closely to hear Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett speak.

Since leaving the White House, Jared Kushner and Donald Trump haven't been as close as they were during the previous four years.

Journalist Michael Wolff's new book, Landslide, describes Kushner's role over the four years in office as staffing up the White House with his own loyalists who could circumvent Trump's demands.

Allegations were made and Bloody Marys shared, but it was author Michael Wolff who confirmed in his new book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency, that the former "America's Mayor" isn't well.

Speaking to MSNBC host Brian Williams Tuesday night, Wolff made it clear that Rudy Giuliani is drunk most of the time and at least buzzed the rest of the time.
