Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki claimed easy press access to President Donald Trump could influence how "giddy" reporters cover him.
On the "Pod Save America" Sunday, Psaki and host Dan Pfeiffer, a former Obama aide, discussed how easy it has been for reporters to speak with Trump on his personal phone. While Psaki said Trump interacting with the press was not bad "on its face," she took issue with how it could potentially "shade" interviews.
"I think the thing that is challenging or concerning, and it's hard to even monitor this really, is sometimes people, reporters, journalists talk to a president, and then they feel giddy about it, right?" Psaki said.
"They feel like, 'Oh, I can call Donald Trump and like I can talk to him, and he has given me all this access, and you know, he calls me and teases me about my interviews' or whatever it may be. And there's no way that doesn't shade how they report things or talk about them, even if it's not conscious," she continued.
