During an interview, CNN’s Jake Tapper expressed his concerns regarding the legal actions taken against Donald Trump by New York officials Letitia James and Alvin Bragg. He emphasized the problematic nature of prosecutors targeting specific politicians, reflecting on past media coverage, including his own, which he described as flawed. Tapper acknowledged Trump’s grievances and recognized the media's responsibility in shaping perceptions. He also admitted to his regrets around the publication of materials like the Steele Dossier and his earlier skepticism regarding the Iraq war narratives, indicating a call for more accountability in political discourse and media representation.
I understand why [Trump] is frustrated, I would be too... I didn’t think it was responsible to publish the Steele Dossier.
I look back at Iraq and the weapons of mass destruction, and I was skeptical then, but I wish I had been more brave about it.
I think it is problematic when people run for prosecutor and promise to go after a specific politician.
I’ve been saying for a long time I understood specific grievances that President Trump had with the media.
