Larry King speaks out on awkward Trump interview on Russian TV

Though Donald Trump’s campaign team defended his abrupt departure from an interview on Russia TV network RT Thursday night as a miscommunication because he thought the taping was for a podcast, Larry King shared a slightly different version of how things played out.

The “Politicking” host told CNN Friday evening Trump “couldn’t have known it was a podcast, because he just did my podcast.” King claimed his show’s producers had contacted Trump’s aides about a TV interview after the two had done a separate interview for King’s podcast channel — unrelated to RT.
