CNN technical director admitted the network's “focus was to get Trump out of office.”
The individual, who Project Veritas alleges to be CNN technical director Charlie Chester, openly discusses the “propaganda” regarding President Trump's health.
“We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about," Chester began.
"That’s what – I think that’s propaganda, you know?” Chester is seen saying, according to Project Veritas.
Project Veritas’ video also shows Chester predicting what’s next for CNN.
According to the video, the network plans to focus “mainly on climate” and will promote “climate change awareness.”
