"I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. We needed the media to hold people like me to account," Bush told TODAY in an exclusive interview. "Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive, and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power."
"It’s kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press when we’re not willing to have one ourselves," he said.
Bush also addressed the controversy over Trump advisers and the role they may have played in the scandal involving Russian hackers who tried to intervene in the election, saying he would leave questions about whether a special prosecutor should investigate up to the Senate intelligence committee leaders.
“I think we all need answers,” he said, noting that he was not a lawyer so, “I’m not sure the right avenue to take.”
