The conservative commentator says he's accepted Patrick Soon-Shiong's invitation to join the LA Times editorial board.

The new owner has been outspoken about reshaping the paper's editorial board since acquiring the paper in 2018 .

Jennings 's most high-profile gig remains as CNN ’s go-to Trump defender.

CNN 's Scott Jennings says he has formed a number of close friendships with CNN contributors.

Jennings was rumored to be on a short list of candidates to serve as the White House press secretary.

He says he's not "blindly defending everything Trump does, and I’ve not been shy about saying that on the air,” he says.

Soon-Shiong says he is working through a list of around 20 to 25 candidates “across the spectrum from left, center, to right” He says he felt that the editorial board was “veering very progressive,” and in his mind “it was really not healthy just to have what I call an echo chamber of a single view”.
