On Thursday’s NBC Today, co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Willie Geist interrogated Dr. Mehmet Oz about his interview with Donald Trump for his daytime talk show. Guthrie began by questioning the health records provided by the Republican nominee on the program: “Seems like it was a genuine surprise, him handing you this piece of paper with medical results. Didn't give you a big chance to really look at it beforehand....could you tell just by looking right then and there whether it was legit and comprehensive?”
Later in the exchange, she criticized Oz for even having Trump on the show: “This wasn’t without controversy. Some people looked at this and said what is a presidential candidate doing on a TV doctor show? Were you concerned at all about being, for lack of a better word, kind of used in that way?”
