Payments for events at Donald Trump properties
During the first Trump administration, CBN paid at least $170,000 to host events at properties associated with Donald Trump. The organization subsequently received access to the White House comparable to that granted to larger news organizations, including frequent exclusive interviews with senior officials. The arrangement attracted scrutiny because of the relationship between paid events, political access, and CBN’s conservative news coverage.
