US EditionKaroline Leavitt Criticizes CNN Over Interview with Mexican Cartel Member
- On May 6, 2025, Karoline Leavitt, the spokesperson for the White House, condemned CNN for conducting a sympathetic interview with a masked leader of the Sinaloa cartel regarding President Trump's designation of the cartel as a terrorist organization.
- The criticism followed CNN correspondent Isobel Yeung's Saturday interview that addressed the Trump administration’s designation of cartels as terrorist organizations and intentions to combat them.
- Leavitt viewed the interview as a sympathetic and softball platform for a criminal group involved in drug trafficking, human smuggling, and violence against Americans.
- Leavitt said the interview was "despicable" and argued it contributed to low trust in legacy media by giving airtime to a cartel responsible for killing U.S. Citizens.
- The backlash highlights White House efforts to crack down on cartels and concerns about media portrayal potentially undermining those efforts and public perception.
