Jake Tapper Admits to Apologizing to Lara Trump over Stopping 2020 Interview

  • Jake Tapper, a CNN anchor, apologized in 2025 for shutting down a contentious October 2020 interview with Lara Trump about Joe Biden's cognitive health.
  • The apology followed Lara Trump's earlier remarks suggesting Biden showed cognitive decline during the 2020 campaign, which Tapper initially dismissed as unqualified claims.
  • During a 2025 interview on The Megyn Kelly Show promoting Tapper's book, he admitted calling Lara Trump months ago to apologize for accusing her of mocking Biden's stutter.
  • Tapper acknowledged that Lara Trump recognized issues he initially missed, fully agreeing with her assessment after conducting research for his book 'Original Sin' on cognitive decline.
  • The incident and book reignited public focus on Biden's health, generating criticism and debate across the political spectrum, with some viewing the book's timing as in poor taste.
