Dawsey and Gold reported that Journal editor Gerard “Baker, according to the transcript, asked many of the questions and took the lead byline on the main piece about the interview as well, an unusual step for the editor in chief of a paper with a large White House reporting staff.

“‘Damn right I told them that. It’s true,’ Murray said on Tuesday via a Journal spokesperson.”
