Jake Tapper Asks CNN Control Room to Nix Feed of Trump’s Cafe Visit
CNN anchor Jake Tapper urged his control room on Tuesday to stop playing video of Donald Trump’s visit to a Miami café following his arraignment, calling it nothing more than a “spectacle” and a “campaign ad.”
After pleading not guilty to a 37-count indictment for allegedly mishandling classified documents, the ex-president made a preplanned post-arrest visit to Versailles, an iconic Little Havana restaurant, where he was hailed as a hero.
With patrons celebrating Trump’s birthday a day early, CNN eventually returned to a studio panel moderated by Tapper.
