‘Clear distancing’: Matt Drudge says his all-in support for Trump ‘was three years ago’

Published



Matt Drudge, the founder of the Drudge Report, appeared to distance himself from President Trump and from his previous support for the current commander in chief.

Drudge, whose site rose to prominence during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, was asked about the apparent shift his site took by Columbia Journalism Review’s Bob Norman.

He did answer his phone when Norman called him after leaving his property, according to a CJR article by Norman, which was published on Wednesday.
