This is a transcript of a roundtable discussion among journalism experts about the challenges of covering the Trump Administration and the importance of maintaining journalistic standards and ethics when dealing with sources with a documented history of dishonesty. The participants discussed various strategies for holding the administration accountable, such as fact-checking, calling out lies, and offering transparency about journalistic practices. These lessons are relevant for crime reporters who deal with official sources that have a history of dishonesty.
