Daily Beast: “By agreeing to an exclusive town hall in New Hampshire with his biggest cable news nemesis—CNN—the 2024 Republican frontrunner was poised for a made-for-primetime clash to delight his followers, set off his critics, and suck up the political oxygen in the critical early primary state.”
“Just over 24 hours before Trump’s scheduled sit-down, however, whatever hopes he had to ambush CNN turned into what one of his former advisers called ‘walking into a complete ambush.'”
“That’s because on Tuesday, a Manhattan jury found Trump to be liable for sexually abusing, and then defaming, the writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages.”
Said one Trump adviser: “If I were on his communications team, I would be shitting my pants right now.”
Politico: Trump world booked CNN hoping for a big audience. Now, they’re in the thick of it.
