By (author) Chris Christie; By (author) Christie, Chris
Short description/annotation
From the outspoken former governor, presidential candidate, and chair of the Trump transition, a no-holds-barred account of Christie''s rise to power in a world of bare-knuckle politics, his fifteen-year friendship with Donald Trump, and his frank insights and experiences with the president and his inner circle.
Description

The famously candid two-term governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie was the first major official to endorse Trump for president. Christie quickly became one of Trump''s most trusted advisors, tapped with running Trump''s transition team and nearly being named vice president. Within days of Trump''s surprise victory, however, the president-elect booted Christie from the transition team, citing the Bridgegate scandal.

In Let Me Finish, Christie sets the record straight about his tenure as a corruption-fighting prosecutor and a Republican running a Democratic state, as well as what really went down inside Trump Tower. Christie will take readers into the ego-driven power struggles among the top advisors competing for Trump''s mercurial attention, figures like Steve Bannon, Corey Lewandowksi, Reince Priebus, Kellyanne Conway, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner, Trump''s son-in-law who never forgot that Christie was the prosecutor who put his wealthy father behind bars.

Packed with news-making revelations and told with an entertaining bluntness that few politicians can match, Christie''s memoir will be an essential lesson in Trump-era realpolitik.
