President
Bush will grant an interview at the White House next week to ABC News'
Diane Sawyer, the network said Tuesday.
The interview will air on "Primetime
Thursday" Dec. 18 on ABC7. Parts will also be shown on "Good
Morning America," which Sawyer co-anchors.
Bush is expected to be asked about a broad range of policy issues,
including the economy and the war in Iraq, and his expected bid for
re-election. First lady Laura Bush will also join her husband for part
of the interview, ABC said.
Meanwhile, ABC also announced Tuesday that it had raided CNN to
hire reporter Jonathan Karl, who will cover the State Department and
foreign affairs. He replaces Martha Raddatz, who has shifted to the
Pentagon.
Karl has covered the White House, Pentagon and Capitol Hill for
CNN.
ABC News also said it had hired Laura Marquez, an anchor and
reporter for ABC's San Francisco station, as a Washington-based
general assignment reporter. |
