In conversation with Tamala Edwards, anchor, 6ABC Action News morning edition
Maggie Haberman was part of a team that won a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for its reportage of the investigations into then-President Donald Trump’s, and his advisers’, connections to Russia. She has also twice been part of a Pulitzer Prize finalist team: in 2021 for reporting on the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and in 2022 for reporting on the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. A former political reporter for Politico, The New York Post, and The New York Daily News, she became a CNN political analyst in 2014. In Confidence Man, Haberman uses hundreds of sources and interviews—including many with Trump himself—to offer a definitive account of the former Oval Office occupant’s chaotic campaigns, tumultuous term in office, and tortured post-presidency.

The best interview of Maggie Haberman, by far. Maggie seemed exhausted, actually, but the interviewer was just excellent.

"It is a sign of intelligence and maturity and growth to say, 'I don't know.' " I was taught as a scientist that it is the most important sentence to acknowledge and be able to embrace as a scientist.

Having watched many of the interviews from this book tour, Maggie Haberman was her usual fair, careful, intelligent and articulate self so no surprises there. However, I thought Tamala Edwards conducted an excellent interview and the audience questions were so good and so well put. Well done all round and, as a baseball fan in Germany - go Phillies!

One of the best interviews I've seen with Ms Haberman, excellent questions from both the interviewer and audience.
-
This is an incredible presentation. So thoughtful and lovely considering the awful subject matter.
-
She nailed the complete personality that is thrumpy

Excellent interview Maggie is obviously tired ergo eyes closed. To me this is a compliment to the interviewer. Maggie realizes this is not your typical interview therefore to respect the questions she closes her eyes to help her answer truthfully. Just my thoughts.

It is amazing that this guy was president with all his flaws. It is a miracle we survived it. Of course, it still isn't over.

Malignant narcissists are incredibly taxing to endure. Four years can be a life-time.

Thanks for sharing this interview. Maggie Haberman is an incredible, intelligent & perceptive, investigative Journalist. It would also be helpful to learn about the stress & toll it takes, on them to do work like this, especially with difficult People like 45. it also, shows how ALL of Us & Our engagement in American Govt. is so vitally important to keep Our democracy from derailing, especially with the influence of large amounts of dirty, dark money. Thanks, again! ----- Proverbs 1: 7 & James 1: 5 Bible.

He was just completely unqualified for holding public office of any kind, but especially and specifically the Presidency of the United States of America.

I have been feeling overloaded with political books lately but solely because this particular interview I plan to buy this book next.
