CNN president Jeff Zucker defends hiring of a former Trump official as a 2020 campaign political editor

The Wall Street Journal

Zucker said during an editorial conference call that he understands the concern over hiring GOP operative and former Jeff Sessions spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores as an "editor," but that executives haven't decided to change her title. Still, Zucker said her primary duties would include coordinating coverage for the Washington bureau. She may also appear on TV.
