The event will air on May 10 at 9 p.m. ET, with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins moderating. It will be Trump's first appearance on the network since 2016.
In a rather unexpected announcement, CNN says it plans to welcome former President Donald Trump on the network next week for a live town hall forum from New Hampshire.
It would appear that he's giving the cold shoulder to Fox News, which is often a much less critical — some would say amiable — outlet for Trump. Fox has previously defended Trump's unfounded claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election and also played down his alleged influence behind the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
As part of a major shakeup at the network, CNN parted ways with long-time anchor Don Lemon last month following backlash over his comments about Republican presidential candidates. While it's unclear that Lemon's firing is directly related to these interactions, it's clear that Licht is okay with moving on from major talent in order to pursue his mission for the network.
