Anonymous Trump Official Behind Times Op-Ed Is Writing a Book – The New York Times

An anonymous Trump administration official who published a September 2018 essay in The New York Times, about the active resistance to the president’s agenda and behavior from within his own administration, will publish a book next month.

The author, who has not been publicly identified, created an uproar when he or she wrote in an Op-Ed last year that many of President Trump’s senior officials “are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations,” adding, “I would know. I am one of them.”

The book, titled, “A Warning,” will be published on Nov. 19 by Twelve, a division of the Hachette Book Group. The author is represented by Matt Latimer and Keith Urbahn of Javelin, the literary agency that represents the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, Senator Martha McSally and the retired United States Navy commander Guy Snodgrass.

In a news release, the publisher described the book as “a shocking, first-hand account of President Trump and his record” that picks up where the Op-Ed left off. Mr. Latimer, a co-founder of Javelin, told CNN that the author planned to donate most of the proceeds and was not motivated by money to tell the story.
