Join us in welcoming The Washington Post’s Rosalind S. Helderman, Matea Gold and Katherine B. Lee for a conversation about “The Mueller Report Illustrated,” a new graphic nonfiction book.
Written and designed by The Post and illustrated by artist Jan Feindt, “The Mueller Report Illustrated: The Obstruction Investigation” brings to life the findings of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and illuminates a crucial period in the Trump presidency that remains relevant to the turbulent events of today.
The book unspools a dramatic narrative of an angry and anxious president trying to control a criminal investigation into his own actions, with dialogue taken directly from the special counsel’s 448-page report. “While the storyline is eminently faithful to Mueller’s more detailed documentation, the writers and artist bring drama to it by showing the many points of resistance within Trump’s staff,” Kirkus Review notes.
The Post journalists will discuss how they tackled this groundbreaking project, how the Mueller probe eventually led to the impeachment inquiry and how the Russia investigation is still reverberating today.
