The Bottom Line
White House officials are outraged over CBS News hiring former Liz Cheney aide Jeremy Adler.
AI Summary
White House officials are outraged over CBS News' hiring of Jeremy Adler, a communications executive who previously worked for former Rep. Liz Cheney. Adler will join CBS News' communications team, according to two people familiar with the move. A White House official stated that Adler "worked to jail President Trump and make it impossible for anybody who supported the president to get hired." This hiring adds to existing tensions between the White House and CBS News, with the president having sued the network for $20 billion in 2024 and settled for $16 million last year. Adler's appointment comes as CBS News navigates changes under new ownership and editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, appointed in October.
