CNN played a critical role in originally publicizing the existence of a 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump that would later become largely discredited. The dossier in question was authored by former intelligence agent Christopher Steele, who was reportedly paid by Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans to investigate Trump.

After former Congressman Beto O'Rourke (D) appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" and cited President Donald Trump's alleged racism as the reason behind the "violence in America," host Jake Tapper pressed El Paso Mayor Dee Margo on the issue.

Despite Tapper and Cuomo’s denials, CNN has been plagued by errors in its reporting on the Russia investigation.
