Greg Miller is one of the reporters for
The Washington
Post who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize
for Investigative Reporting for his groundbreaking stories on Russia’s
interference in the 2016 election, and the resulting investigations of the
Trump campaign and administration. Today he shares how he cornered the
Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at a science conference in Washington and
caught General Michael Flynn in a blatant lie about his dealings with Russian
officials. He describes the almost comical level of incompetence surrounding
the 2016 DNC hacks, gives an insider's look at the secretive Russian hacking
agencies known as Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, and the troll farm behind Russia’s
social media influence campaign. He defends the Post’s longstanding practice
of using anonymous sources and explains how they go about verifying those
stories. Greg reveals efforts by the White House to derail the Washington
Post’s reporting on Trump’s Russia connections,
and how he learned that President Trump discussed targeting him personally and
even putting him in jail for refusing to reveal his sources. Plus he
discusses what happened to the Trump-Mueller meeting that never was and we
speculate on just what it is that Vladimir Putin might have on Donald Trump.
