Michael is the foremost political journalist in America, a man whose reporting is so incendiary that Trump once even tried to have him banned (unsuccessfully, of course).
Wolff wrote for me for over a decade when I was editing GQ, 10 years in which he covered every major figure in US politics and media, as well as many established figures in Britain.

There was no subject that was beyond him, no one he was scared of taking on. If I told him that one of his targets had called me to complain, or had accosted me in a restaurant, or got one of their lackeys to berate me, he would simply smile. "So it worked, then?" he would say.
