About this show

The chief of staff is the keeper of the president's secrets. He is the president's most powerful advisor and closest confidant. This unprecedented series pulls back the curtain on the Oval Office, looking at the key moments, the quiet conversations, backroom bargains and heated debates that made history and have never been heard before.
