On Thursday, a leaked conference call recording from CNN President Jeff Zucker revealed how he had called former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as a “useful idiot” following his role in Hunter Biden’s controversial email.

The recording was one of the most recent batches of conference calls that were obtained by Project Veritas. According to the independent media outlet, it had been secretly recording the network’s conference calls in a period of two months.

In the first batch of recording, the CNN exec, along with Political Director David Chalian, had deliberately made an effort to dodge the New York Post’s bombshell report, which confirmed Hunter’s ties with Burisma. Moreover, the email also established that Hunter’s father and then-Vice President Joe Biden met with the foreign executives.

The day after, Project Veritas released another batch of recordings. This time, Zucker blasted Giuliani as being a key figure in the entire controversy. In fact, it was Giuliani’s lawyer who obtained HunTer’s hard drive. In the call, Zucker could be heard saying, “There is a term for what Rudy Giuliani is suspected of being, which is ‘useful idiot.”

Zucker went on to complain about the role that Giuliani had in revealing Hunter’s foreign ties. He then mocked the former NY Mayor, saying that Giuliani must have been taking all the credit in tying Biden’s disinformation campaign. The CNN exec added, “From ‘America’s mayor to useful idiot.”

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe immediately addressed the release of the CNN tapes. O’Keefe claimed that they had not received any calls or messages following CNN Communications threatening social media posts against Veritas. In the said post, the network warned that they have already referred them to law enforcement.

The media outlet’s executive director also stressed the importance of the conference calls. O’Keefe believed that it is important for the American people to realize that they are being lied to and how Zucker had extreme control over the entire network, including those issues which should be covered. He also believed that the media censorship meant that journalists are forced to either follow what the network wanted, and eventually, lose their conscience, or be brave enough to step up and lose their career and livelihood.

Finally, O’Keefe demanded that America needed an “army” of people willing to fight and report the media biases. Before the interview ended, O’Keefe warned that CNN’s political biases might have far-reaching effects, especially since they hold ties with other platforms such as Facebook and Google.

In addition, Project Veritas is set to release 50 sets of “raw” tapes obtained with their two-month surveillance. Currently, Former Vice-President Joe Biden indicated that he might have had a meeting with the Burisma execs.
