On July 19, 2019, Phillips posted a tweet praising President Trump for giving us (journalists) access "on a regular basis and the ability to ask any question". Phillips came under attack by many who viewed the comment as being a "suck up" to the president.

In March 2012, Phillips moved to the 11am Newsroom, and her timeslot was shortened to one hour. However, on 26 June 2012, it was officially announced that she would leave CNN and launch her own show at its sister channel HLN. She soon returned to CNN as a "investigative correspondent".

She has also participated in the Navy’s TOPGUN school, SWAT training, and other police and weapons training.
