For years, CNN political analyst, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and APB speaker Carl Bernstein has revealed the inner workings of government and politics, and told the hidden stories of Washington and its leaders. Bernstein’s most recent article details why Trump’s phone calls are alarming to US officials.
