C-SPAN released a clip of an interview featuring the two reporters with Q&A host Peter Slen, set to air Monday at 9 p.m. EDT, where they discussed being unable to directly interview the president for their new book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.
Let me be clear about something: He answers more questions than Joe Biden, Swan said, to which Haberman agreed. He s more available. There are reporters asking him questions when they re in the pool, there s no question about that.
Swan emphasized that when he and Haberman want to get inside a room, the Oval [Office], the Situation Room for the most sensitive conversations, the way to get that is not to call Donald Trump on a cellphone for three minutes. … It s not that useful.
