The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman on Tuesday pushed back on the Trump administration’s repeated claim that Donald Trump is the most transparent president in history.Speaking on C-SPAN alongside her Times colleague Jonathan Swan about the reporting process behind their new Trump tell-all, “Regime Change,” Haberman acknowledged that Trump has made “revealing comments” and broken news by taking direct calls from reporters on his cellphone.But they didn’t use that approach for the tome, they said.“In general, these calls, when people make them, they last about two and a half minutes,” said Haberman. “He dictates the terms of the discussion and it’s a way to appear and make a display of transparency.”“I mean, this administration is very good at making shows of transparency,” she continued.The journalist then pointed to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s repeated assertion that Trump is “the most transparent president in history.”“Which is just simply not true,” she said. “Not rating him against other presidents, this is not a transparent administration but so, those calls allow him to maintain that veneer while really dictating the terms and not answering much at all.”Watch here:zzz
