Trump pardons those who pay in cash or political support. CNN app.frame.io/presentations/…

Pardons much in the news every day! Watch my interview about my book, The Pardon, at the Clinton Library on C-Span this weekend. c-span.org/event/the-pres…

Want to learn the history of the pardon power? Watch CSPAN 2 this Saturday at 9:30 PM when Jeffrey Toobin talks about his book "The Pardon"

Donald Trump is transactional about everything, including “his” Supreme Court justices. @cnn.com @andersoncooper360.bsky.social f.io/QA9DLNNs

If #ElonMusk is so concerned about the deficit, why doesn't he just support raising taxes on people like himself?

Great to be back in Alabama.

The Minnesota assasin has political views that are very similar to those of Timothy McVeigh. This right-wing commitment to political violence is an enduring part of American life. #Jan6 #Homegrown

JJ Spaun is a total badass. What a way to win the US Open.

Trump punishes his enemies with investigations even more than with prosecutions. My The New York Times column: nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opi…

Loved that book!

Hi Michael, glad you're well and healthy. Russiagate involved real crimes (all pardoned by Trump), Lawfare? You mean the prosecution of the Jan6 rioters? (All pardoned by Trump). Those were legitimate investigations of real crimes, unlike the current harrassment that I discussed.

I wish I could follow a bunch of my favorite writers at the same time on #Substack. Just pay one price and get them all. I have even come up with a name for this service. You could call it a . . . "magazine."

Is this too obvious? Trump doesn't want the Epstein documents (file, whatever you call it) released because they implicate Trump himself.

Get ready for Justice Emil Bove. My The New York Times piece. nytimes.com/2025/07/16/opi…

In 1981, Jeffrey Toobin wrote in the Harvard Crimson: “RUMORS TO THE CONTRARY notwithstanding, Tom Lehrer is not now and never has been dead.” Sadly, that is no longer accurate. H had a timeless quality — and will be missed. May his memory be a blessing. Rest in Peace.

Death Cabbage This 2016 book by Jeffrey Toobin was a great and very interesting read!

RIP to Charles Bierbauer, a terrific mentor, friend, dean and human. I can’t overstate his impact on my life as a student @uofsc and the lives of countless others. He was a smart, kind and incredibly insightful man I will miss very much: cnn.com/2025/08/31/pol…
