Trump announces The Crime of the Century, a forthcoming book about the 2020 election
Winning Team Publishing announced Monday that it will publish The Crime of the Century by former President Donald Trump, a book outlining Trump's baseless claims that widespread voter fraud robbed him of victory in the 2020 election.
The announcement did not include a release date.
Trump teased the book at a rally in Austin, Texas, on Saturday. The "heist" of the 2020 election was "one of the greatest crimes in the history of our country. And sadly, the prosecutors don't want to do anything about it," Trump said. "This is the crime of the century. I'm actually writing a book about it called The Crime of the Century," he added.
