All right, thank you very much everybody. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. Tonight we have

anonymous. His name is Miles Taylor and you've seen him on this program before, but you're going

to see him in a whole new light tonight. This is Miles' first TV interview since revealing he was the

person behind the pen more than two years ago when he turned the White House upside down with that

now infamous Trump resistance op-ed and subsequent book warning about the president's unfitness

All right, first what matters most certainly to me. You lied to us, Miles. You were asked in

August if you were anonymous here on CNN with Anderson Cooper and you said no. Now, why should CNN

that I wanted Donald Trump to challenge on their merits. We have seen over the course of four

years that Donald Trump's preference is to find personal attacks and distractions to pull people

away from criticisms of his record. I wrote that work anonymously to deprive him of that opportunity

and to force him to answer the questions on their merits. And I'll tell you what happened Chris,

the end result is the president couldn't. He failed to deny what was in that book. And in fact,

to this day, the White House has failed to challenge the narratives that were in that book
