Now: Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein speak at CITIZEN
Iconic Watergate investigative reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward are talking now with CNN Special Correspondent Jamie Gangel today.
Bernstein and Woodward were both Washington Post reporters who helped uncover the 1970s Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon.
Woodward recently drew the ire of President Trump over his bombshell book, "
Fear: Trump in the White House," which provides an unprecedented inside-the-room look through the eyes of the President's inner circle.
From the Oval Office to the Situation Room to the White House residence, Woodward used confidential background interviews to illustrate how some of the President's top advisers view him as a danger to national security and have sought to circumvent the commander in chief.
Bernstein, a CNN political analyst,
defended Woodward's book and vouched for his former colleague's methodology of reporting of drawing from hundreds of hours of interviews with first-hand sources and documents to back up quotes, saying it was the same method the pair used while reporting on the Nixon administration.
Trump and the White House have pushed back on the allegations in Woodward's book, but Woodward stands by his reporting.
