How a leading man of legal journalism lost his sweetest gig.
Until Jeffrey Toobin's fateful appointment with Zoom on October 15, his quarantine was going better than most people's.
In August, his eighth book, True
Crimes and Misdemeanours: The Investigation of Donald Trump, about Robert Mueller's inquiry into election meddling, was published, getting positive reviews and a brief berth on the New York Times bestseller list. His third, about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, is being filmed by Ryan Murphy for a limited series on FX.
