Two books defending Roy McGrath, former Gov LarryHogan's onetime chief of staff who died on Monday after a confrontation with the FBI, were released in the days after his disappearance on March 13.
The self-published books, Betrayed: The True Story of Roy McGrath and Betrayed: The True Story of Maryland Environmental Service, were apparently written by a man named Ryan Cooper. The books paint McGrath as a"hard worker" who had"no record of wrongdoing." They call Hogan an antagonist who orchestrated McGrath's prosecution to avoid political blowback.
The first book in the series, which was 52 pages, focused on the theft allegation. The book claimed Hogan approved the six-figure severance for McGrath to leave the Maryland Environmental Service and join him in the governor's office, but Hogan denied the claim. The book characterized Hogan as secretive and back-stabbing, and it nicknamed him"Lyin' Larry."
The book included multiple handwritten notes that Cooper claimed were from the former governor, and it cites a press release from Hogan.
