The timing of the news is particularly concerning as Dana Bash prepares to moderate the crucial debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
Roger Stone, a prominent Trump ally, voiced his concerns, stating, "How can CNN debate moderator Dana Bash be impartial in questioning Trump? She was married to Trump-bashing Russiagate conspiracist, Biden donor, and Brennan aide Jeremy Bash, who signed the 2020 intel statement falsely insisting Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation." This isn't the first time CNN's credibility has been called into question.
The network has previously faced allegations of leaking debate questions to Hillary Clinton's campaign in advance.
Trump is likely to call out any potential glaring conflict of interest during the debate.
Recently, the network's leadership has been under fire as they stand by their two anchors assigned to moderate the upcoming first presidential debate of the general election.
Monday's interview on CNN's morning show turned heated when host Kasie Hunt clashed with Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, who sharply criticized debate moderator Jake Tapper.
"They have extensive experience moderating major political debates, including CNN's Republican Presidential Primary Debate this cycle. There are no two people better equipped to co-moderate a substantial and fact-based discussion and we look forward to the debate on June 27 in Atlanta."
