Behind the Scenes: Jake Tapper's Hot Mic Moment During CNN's Live Coverage of Trump-Putin Meeting
During CNN's live coverage of President Trump's meeting with Russian President Putin in Alaska, host Jake Tapper was caught on a hot mic expressing frustration. Tapper, who typically hosts "The Lead," was momentarily cut off before his colleague, Anderson Cooper, tried to return the show to him in Anchorage. Tapper seemed annoyed and asked for his show back, which Cooper humorously confirmed. Despite technical difficulties and communication problems, Tapper managed to conduct a live interview with Sen. Adam Schiff about the talks involving Ukraine. Cooper acknowledged the issues and eventually handed the show back to Tapper, who continued with the coverage.
