Trump aide's daughter pictured with pro-Russia politician
Katie Wiles is a partner at the political lobbying firm Continental Strategy. A spokesperson for the firm acknowledged to CBS News that Wiles had taken the trip to Republika Srpska but on business for another firm's client.
What the coverage shows
Both CBS News and 60 Minutes center the same image of Katie Wiles with a pro-Russia politician, with 60 Minutes adding that the trip was to Republika Srpska and identifying Milorad Dodik there as pro-Russian. CBS News adds a business-context detail not in the 60 Minutes extract, saying a spokesperson for Continental Strategy acknowledged Wiles traveled there on business for another firm’s client. The difference is mainly in framing and emphasis rather than in the core subject.
