NYU Law Forum—Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation

For two years, Andrew Weissmann served as a senior member of the team assembled by Robert Mueller to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 US election. In his new book, Where Law Ends: Inside the Mueller Investigation, Weissmann provides the first and so far only inside account of the investigation. As described by the publisher:

Weissmann puts the reader in the room as Mueller’s team made their most consequential decisions, such as whether to subpoena the president, whether to conduct a full financial investigation of Trump, and whether to explicitly recommend obstruction charges against him. Weissmann also details for the first time the debilitating effects that President Trump himself had on the investigation, through his dangling of pardons and his constant threats to shut down the inquiry and fire Mueller, which left the team racing against the clock and essentially fighting with one hand tied behind their backs. 

This Forum, to be presented as a Zoom webinar, will consist of a brief book talk by Weissmann, followed by a Q&A with NYU Law experts on criminal law and national security.

The NYU Law Forum is sponsored by Latham and Watkins.
