In his new book, “Doing Justice,” Bharara does not write explicitly about his conversations with Trump. Bharara positions “Doing Justice” as a treatise on “the rule of law and faith in the rule of law” at a time when both are under threat. Beyond simply rebutting the president, though, Bharara seeks to present the justice system Trump disdains as a source of inspiration for a healthier politics. Like the podcast, “Doing Justice” takes questions about the mechanics of criminal justice as an opportunity to dig deeper into moral and political inquiries. Bharara wrote “Doing Justice” in part to “help people make sense of what has been happening in America,” he writes in the preface.
