Trump to be interviewed on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’

President Trump will appear Sunday on “Meet the Press,” his first NBC interview since he sat down with anchor Lester Holt in 2017.

It will be Trump’s first time on the Sunday morning news show since he became president, CNN reported on Thursday.

His last appearance occurred on August 2015.

The sitdown comes days before NBC will host the first round of Democratic presidential candidate debates next Wednesday and Thursday.

Trump spent 30 hours with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos in a highly teased interview that aired Sunday evening.

Trump made headlines in his May 2017 interview with Holt when he admitted he had already made up his mind to fire then-FBI Director James Comey.

The White House had been insisting that Trump fired Comey, who was overseeing the investigation into Russian influence in the election, on the recommendation of deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
