Chris Licht, CNN’s new top executive, said his channel will not cover former President Donald Trump as much as during his White House term and 2016 campaign.

“We have fact-checkers ready to go. We will put things in perspective. We will not let everything he does consume the news cycle, right?” Licht told “On with Kara Swisher.” “There are other things that are important.”
