ABC News is facing allegations of bias in the recent presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. A whistleblower affidavit, signed on September 9 and released on September 15, claims that Harris was given debate questions in advance and that ABC took actions to favor her. The affidavit alleges that the Harris campaign insisted on fact-checking Trump and had prior agreements with ABC about off-limit questions. ABC has denied these allegations, but has not issued a formal rebuttal. The whistleblower, whose identity remains undisclosed, claims to have recorded conversations supporting these accusations. Bill Ackman questioned ABC's silence on the viral affidavit. The debate took place on September 10.
