President Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and deputy campaign manager David Bossie this week will release a new book detailing how the president's "enemies" inside and outside the White House are working to thwart his agenda. The two former Trump aides are set to release their new book, "Trump's Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency," on Tuesday. The authors want the book, which is reported to describe an ominous and somewhat conspiratorial Washington under the Trump administration, to show readers how there are establishment embeds within the nation's capital that are actively working against the president and "the American people."

"I think there is incredible material in this book to educate people on what the 'Deep State' is. Those folks that are in these jobs not for Trump's agenda but for their own agenda, or for a leftist agenda. That is what we try to describe in this book," Bossie told the Washington Examiner. "What we are trying to do is show people that there are people in the government who did things that tried to prevent him [Trump] from becoming the president," Lewandowski told the Washington Examiner. The book is based on a "wide-ranging," 45-minute Sept. 20 interview the authors had with the president, Lewandowski and Bossie told the Washington Examiner. Vice President Mike Pence was also present for a portion of the interview and weighs in on a few subjects.

Members of the intelligence community and former White House aides aren't the only figures that are portrayed to have actively worked against the president. Members of Congress and the media also come under fire. The authors told the Washington Examiner that Republicans, such as Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, and Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida, show up as examples of Republicans that continuously fought the president. "They aren't coming back anymore," Lewandowski said. As for Democrats, Bossie and Lewandowski said that they go into detail on Californian Reps. Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Eric Swalwell, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi They also touch on some of Trump's other favorite Democratic rivals, such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Masachusetts and Kamala Harris of California.

The media — a constant target of the president's ire — gets a fair amount of coverage in the book. Lewandowski described the media they were referring to as "those individuals who have made a career in Washington, D.C." He mentioned Bill Kristol, a well-known conservative writer and Trump critic, as a perfect example of someone in the media they are describing in the book. "If his name wasn’t Donald Trump, [Bill] Kristol would be calling him the most conservative president ever elected. Because they don't like him, they won't give him credit," Lewandowski said. Mueller's investigation is one of the most highlighted portions of the book in the lead up to its release. Trump told the authors that he believes Mueller's investigation has made his "base stronger," adding that the "level of love now is far greater than when we won." Pence emphatically agreed.

Bossie and Lewandowski believe the portion of the book that will make the biggest media splash is a section where they allege, citing high-level anonymous sources, that former President Obama had direct knowledge of the government's wiretapping of the Trump campaign. In response to revealing that information to the president, the authors say Trump told them: "If this would have happened to Barack Obama it would have been called treason and it would have been in jail."
