He also questioned whether the event could be the beginning of a &#8220;new and vibrant CNN, with no more fake news.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding the Event<\/h3>\n<p>Since the announcement of the town hall, both Republicans and Democrats have criticized the network for giving Trump a platform to spread the &#8220;Big Lie&#8221; that has been blamed for the Jan. 6 riot. MSNBC host Joy Reid called the event an attempt by CNN to push itself to the right and make itself attractive to conservatives. Pundit Charlie Sykes called the decision to host the event &#8220;horrifically bad judgment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Collins on the Hot Seat<\/h3>\n<p>Kaitlan Collins, a former White House reporter during the Trump administration, will be moderating the event. She was previously barred from a White House press event for asking Trump about a potential payment to a former Playboy model. Collins will not be available for comment before the event.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Return to CNN<\/h3>\n<p>This will be Trump&#8217;s first appearance on CNN since before he was elected president in 2016. He had been at odds with the network during and after his presidency, even filing a $475 million defamation suit against CNN last year. The network has shifted away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnns-jim-sciutto-takes-leave-after-internal-investigation-serious-fall\/\" title=\"CNN's Jim Sciutto Takes Leave After Internal Investigation, \"Serious Fall\"\">left-leaning commentary<\/a> following the Warner Bros.
