Hacks: The Inside Story (complete title: Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House) is a 2017 publication authored by Donna Brazile that chronicles her experience as the interim leader of the Democratic National Committee amid Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
Reception
Brazile's book attracted significant attention due to her assertions that the Democratic National Committee showed partiality toward Clinton's campaign during the 2016 Democratic primaries, thereby placing Bernie Sanders and his team at a disadvantage. Additionally, Brazile discusses Clinton's health incident in September 2016 and the ensuing conversations about potentially replacing her as the party’s nominee.
The claims made by Brazile were examined by The Washington Post, which highlighted the fundraising arrangement she referenced as evidence of manipulation favoring Clinton in the 2016 primaries as early as September 2015. Supporters of Sanders were already aware of this deal and ridiculed it prior to its wider exposure.
