EXCLUSIVE: New Republic Pictures has optioned New York Times best-selling author, historian and journalist Garrett M. Graff’s Politico article about the hunt for Osama bin Laden to adapt as a feature film
Graff’s article follows the plan to kill the al Qaeda leader—from the spycraft to the assault to its bizarre political backdrop—as told by the people in the room. Graff conducted extensive interviews with nearly 30 key intelligence and national security leaders, White House staff, and presidential aides, including some who had never been on the record before.
“The story of how US intelligence and the Obama White House planned and okayed the raid of bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound is one of the most telling, fascinating, and secret chapters of the modern American presidency—filled with dramatic, consequential leadership lessons and one that tells us so much about ourselves, our leaders, and our country.
“I’m excited to partner with New Republic and with Brad Fischer to show America a side of the White House they’ve never seen before,” he added. “Garrett Graff’s oral history is an absolutely riveting, blow-by-blow, first person account of how the U.S. intelligence community and the Obama White House pieced together and executed a stunning, near year-long, highly covert, international capture or kill operation, capping close to 10 years of dead-end leads in the global manhunt for Osama bin Laden; that they did so in absolute secrecy, and how, in this age, is itself totally inconceivable.
Graff is a journalist of more than a dozen years covering politics, technology, and national security. His most recent book, bestseller list. Graff compiled the voices of 500 Americans as they experienced that tragic day.

U.S. Supreme Court rebuffs New Jersey police shooting 'qualified immunity' caseThe U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a family's bid to revive a lawsuit against a New Jersey state trooper who fatally shot a mentally ill man who was pointing a gun at his own head in a case involving a legal defense that often protects officers from accusations of excessive force. The court rejected an appeal led by the mother of Willie Gibbons of a lower court decision to grant New Jersey State Trooper Noah Bartelt 'qualified immunity' after he twice shot Gibbons during a roadside encounter in 2011. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the decision to deny the appeal.
