New York Times picks up leaked Trump script for black church visit
On Saturday, Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Great Faith Ministries International, a black church in Detroit. Trump will be interviewed on several issues by the church’s pastor, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, in a closed session.
The New York Times acquired an eight-page draft script of questions and exactly worded answers for the taped event.
While requesting questions in advance isn't abnormal--Hillary Clinton's aides do this too--is it unusual to provide a script of responses.
You can find excerpts from the script here.
