White House, US President Donald Trump’s press conference and sharp questions from the female reporter. This scene spread like wildfire all over the world on social media. Only a 33-year-old female reporter was seen asking such sharp questions to President Trump. The name of this senior journalist and news anchor of CNN is Caitlin Collins. When Collins continued his sharp questions, Trump responded by making personal comments on Collins and also raised a lot of questions on CNN. Do you know that Caitlin Collins earns more than Rs 27 crores in a year. If we look at it in terms of India, it is quite high. The salary of any journalist and news anchor here is not that much. Let us also tell you what is Collins’ salary in US dollars?
How much salary in a year?
CNN has not publicly disclosed the salaries of its anchors and journalists. But international media reports show that Collins gets a good amount of money in a year. In a report by The New York Post in November 2024, an unnamed source claimed that Collins’ annual salary was $3 million, or Rs 27.24 crore in Indian rupees. Although it is difficult to say how accurate this is, it is similar to the salaries of other CNN anchors.
Sharp questions asked in the White House
US President Donald Trump lashed out at CNN journalist Caitlin Collins when she asked him about recently released Justice Department documents related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump rejected these files and said that the country should move forward and raised questions on the credibility of CNN during the debate in the White House.
He also responded to reports that Bill and Hillary Clinton had set dates to testify before the House Oversight Committee in connection with an investigation into Epstein. He called it “shameful” and expressed sorrow for them. The release of millions of documents by the Justice Department has re-examined Epstein’s ties to prominent figures, years after his death in federal custody.
