White House Snubs CBS News Hire Over Liz Cheney Ties to Trump and GOP

The White House is unhappy about CBS News hiring a former aide to ex-GOP congresswoman Liz Cheney, a Trump critic and longtime nemesis of many Republicans in Washington. The staffer's addition is seen as a potential liability for the network due to Cheney's past role in the January 6 committee investigation. CBS News has not commented on why it hired the former aide, but the move has raised eyebrows among Republican lawmakers. The White House had reportedly expressed concerns over the hire before it was finalized.
