Robert Mueller's highly anticipated report on alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion between Russia and the President Donald Trump's campaign team is expected to be published in a book by The Washington Post.
According to the American Booksellers Association, customers can now place pre-orders for two "upcoming titles" featuring Mueller's closely watched report, which is believed to be nearing completion, on the IndieBound.org website.
The first is the Department of Justice's own The Mueller Report: The Final Report of the Special Counsel into Donald Trump, Russia, and Collusion, which is being published by Skyhorse Publishing and has an introduction by U.S. lawyer Alan Dershowitz. The full report can be purchased for $12.99 and has a release date of March 26.
The second publication is The Washington Post's The Mueller Report, which is priced at $15 and is also set to be released on March 26.
"One of the most urgent and important investigations ever conducted, the Mueller inquiry focuses on Donald Trump, his presidential campaign, and Russian interference in the 2016 election, and draws on the testimony of dozens of witnesses and the work of some of the country's most seasoned prosecutors," a description of the book on Indiebound.org states. "The special counsel's investigation looms as a turning point in American history. The Mueller Report is essential reading for all citizens concerned about the fate of the presidency and the future of our democracy."
In addition to relaying the findings of Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, the Post's book is also expected to include exclusive analysis by reporters who have covered the story since it came to light.
According to the IndieBound.com description, the book will include an introduction by The Washington Post titled "A President, a Prosecutor, and the Protection of American Democracy." It will also contain a timeline of the major events of Mueller's investigation from 2017, when he was appointed, to the present day.
The book is also expected to contain a guide for readers on all the major players involved in the investigation, including those within the Special Counsel's Office, the Department of Justice, and the FBI, as well as within the Trump campaign team, the White House, Trump's legal team and key Russians.
It will also incorporate integral documents in the special counsel's probe, including "filings pertaining to General Michael T. Flynn, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, and the Russian internet operation in St. Petersburg," with each document being accompanied with a breakdown of its contents by Washington Post reporters.
A description on IndieBound.org's website of Skyhorse's upcoming publication says Mueller's investigation "will join Watergate, and the Mueller report will join the Starr Report as one of the most important in American history."
