HuffPost senior White House correspondent S.V. Dáte on Tuesday defended his coverage of President Donald Trump, specifically his line of questioning to the White House that went viral this week over press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s childish response. “The views I have about Donald Trump now are those that have come from my reporting and from my watching him and from my experience. And If I don’t convey my conclusions about Donald Trump to my audience, then I’m failing them,” Dáte said on CNN News Central.
