Just after Trump finished taping a 13-minute interview on Tuesday with Dokoupil in Michigan, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt approached Dokoupil and his colleagues with a message from the president.

“He said, ‘Make sure you guys don’t cut the tape, make sure the interview is out in full,” Leavitt said.

“Yeah, we’re doing it, yeah,” Dokoupil responded.

Leavitt said, “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’”
