The FRONTLINE Interviews

Trump’s Showdown

Our Sources. On the Record. At Your Fingertips.

We recorded more than 60 original interviews while reporting Trump’s Showdown. Explore dozens of the interviews — and how we used them in the film — through this interactive version of Trump’s Showdown. While viewing, you can see key quotes in context. You can also go deep into 34 transcripts of people we interviewed. The interactive is part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project, our effort to show where our reporting comes from and how we use that reporting to tell stories.
