In a segment published Tuesday, CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour sat down with Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media and a close friend of Trump's.
Ruddy said the president was deeply worried—as he should be.
The inquiry is "a mortal threat to [Trump's] presidency," said Ruddy. "He certainly should treat it that way."
