Every president, every public servant in the United States, raises their hand and takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.  Robert Costa says the end of the Trump presidency saw an unprecedented threat to the Constitutional order emanating from the White House itself.

Robert Costa is co-author of the new book, “Peril,” with Bob Woodward.  He has been a national political reporter at The Washington Post since 2014 and previously served as moderator and managing editor of “Washington Week” on PBS until 2021.  He was a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC before that.  Costa joined Washington Week with nearly a decade of reporting experience that began with coverage of movement politics and Capitol Hill, including the battle over health care policy during the Obama presidency and the 2010 mid-term elections.  In 2012, he covered the race for the Republican presidential nomination and published interviews with all the major candidates.  He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s degree from the University of Cambridge.
