[3] In the book, Berman discusses "a range of conflicts he encountered with the [U.S.] Department of Justice during his tenure leading the Southern District of New York." [1] Hence, Berman chronicles the improprieties that were applied by the Trump administration to pressure his U.S. Attorney's office.
