‘Hashing it Out’ Politicon Special: J.D. Durkin on the al-Baghdadi raid and covering the Trump White House

The perception in Washington is that there’s a growing divide between President Trump and the media. From calling the journalists and reporters who cover him “fake news” to “the enemy of the people,” many feel there’s been a departure of what “normal” looks like at the White House.

My guest today is J.D. Durkin, he’s the Washington bureau chief with Cheddar.

On today’s show from Politicon in Nashville, Tennessee, we’re going to discuss what covering the Trump White House is like, the U.S. special forces raid that led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and what’s on the horizon for the 2020 election.
