Just after Trump finished taping a 13-minute interview on Tuesday with Dokoupil in Michigan, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt approached Dokoupil and his colleagues with a message from the president.
“He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,” Leavitt said.
“Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Dokoupil responded.
Leavitt said, “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’”
I expected this administration to start locking up journalists last year but it turned out there really was no need. They mostly rolled over and let Trump do what he wanted.
The billionaires bought the media and real journalists quit or are being silenced
