How Trump benefited significantly from Russia, according to Greg Miller of the Washington Post

Greg Miller, a veteran national security reporter at the Washington Post and two-time Pulitzer winner (as part of a team on both occasions), is precisely the kind of mainstream journalist who believes in playing stories “down the middle” and avoiding an overtly partisan tone. 

He spoke with Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir about what life might be like in an alternate universe where Donald Trump had indeed pivoted to a more mainstream presidential tone, as briefly seemed possible in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election.

That didn’t happen, and to some degree Miller’s painstakingly researched new book, “The Apprentice: Trump, Russia and the Subversion of American Democracy,” represents an attempt to explain why.
