The Philadelphia radio host who interviewed President Joe Biden last week has resigned from WURD Radio.
Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who hosted The Source, asked Biden four questions about what’s at stake in the upcoming election.
She later reportedly admitted that the questions were pre-selected by Biden’s campaign team.
The president and CEO of the radio station says that asking those specific questions jeopardized the trust of the listeners.
Lawful-Sanders and the station agreed to mutually part ways, officials say.
