Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign sent a memo to television networks on Monday listing “certain guests” that have been critical of the president, urging producers to question whether those listed have sufficient credibility to appear on news programs in the future. A senior campaign official, who confirmed the memo’s authenticity to HuffPost, said the letter was sent to producers and hosts at broadcast and cable networks. The memo, tweeted by Axios’ Jonathan Swan, was sent by Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh, who wrote that Barr’s summary of Mueller’s report was a “total and complete vindication” of the president. Frequent Trump critic and former CIA Director John Brennan and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez were also listed in the memo. Each name was listed alongside one quote they’ve made about the president and Russian collusion in the 2016 election.
