Summary

This chapter is the first in a series of four that together comprise Part III of The Enablers, “Trump’s Team.” This final part of the book focuses on key individuals, each of them named, who were the most prominent and important of Trump’s enablers. As the title of this chapter suggests, it focuses first on Vice President Pence, who played a critical part in the president’s enablement. Then it proceeds to the four members of the president’s cabinet who during the period under discussion were the most involved with the administration’s management of the pandemic, and to the president himself. The four cabinet members are: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Attorney General William Barr, and Secretary of Heath and Human Services Alex Azar.
