The leader of a small, religiously affiliated campus in New Hampshire has defended the decision to host a nationally televised forum with the former US president, Donald Trump, despite facing protests from staff and students. agreed to host Mr Trump for an on-stage interview with the CNN network that occurred just a day after a New York jury found he had sexually assaulted an advice columnist, E. Jean Carroll, in the mid-1990s. Mr Trump,  a frequent  and  enthusiastic critic  of US higher education, took the hour-long opportunity to put forth a series of false claims on policy and political matters to the point where CNN's own media reporter  called it  a 'spectacle of lies' and 'shameful antics' that the network should not have aired.
