Former President Donald Trump will sit down with CNN next week for a town hall event in New Hampshire, the network announced Monday.
Trump, who has often criticized CNN for being “fake news,” will make his first appearance on the network since 2016.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins will moderate the event at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College on May 10. The town hall will air on the network at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Trump’s CNN appearance is part of a plan to broaden his messaging to a wider audience, according to Politico.
As Politico detailed:
The former president and his staff have re-engaged the mainstream press corps after largely shunning them. They have been in talks with sit-downs with several other notable outlets, including NBC. He has also invited an array of reporters from mainstream outlets to fly with him on his plane to and from campaign events.
