NBC Journalists Hold Their Ground in Challenging Trump Interviews

NBC News journalists like Kristen Welker and Savannah Guthrie have had relative success interviewing former President Trump compared to other news outlets.

Welker is set to air a new pre-taped interview with Trump on Meet the Press, in which he says he likely won't pardon himself if re-elected.

Past noteworthy NBC News interviews with Trump include Lester Holt getting Trump to admit firing Comey was his decision, and Guthrie pressing Trump on not denouncing white supremacy.

NBC has deep ties with Trump through The Apprentice and Jimmy Fallon ruffling his hair pre-election, leading to criticism.

Welker and Guthrie maintained control during their Trump interviews and town halls, despite his combative style, earning them praise.
