American Kompromat by Craig Unger

How the KGB Manufactured Donald Trump

A detailed investigative account of how Russian intelligence, oligarchs and intermediaries have cultivated, collected and weaponized kompromat—compromising information, financial leverage and disinformation—to infiltrate and influence American politics, business and institutions; the book traces the evolution of these tactics from Soviet-era security services to modern FSB operations, maps networks of shell companies, real estate deals and media outlets that enable covert influence, profiles key players and episodes illustrating vulnerability, and warns that democratic systems remain exposed to sophisticated campaigns of subversion and corruption.
