Trump Team Allegedly Received Fox News Town Hall Questions in Advance in Iowa, January 2024; Fox News to Investigate
Jan 8, 2025, 05:34 PM
A forthcoming book by Alex Isenstadt, a national political reporter at Politico, alleges that Donald Trump's team received the questions in advance of a Fox News town hall in Iowa in January 2024. The book, titled 'Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power,' claims that a senior Trump aide received text messages from a Fox News insider about 30 minutes before the event, which included images of all the questions and planned follow-ups. The town hall was moderated by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. The questions reportedly included inquiries about Trump's potential divestment from his businesses if he won the election, his stance on political violence, and his focus on retribution. Isenstadt's reporting is based on multiple sources. Fox News has stated that while they do not have evidence of this occurring, they take the matter seriously and plan to investigate, describing the allegations as a serious breach of journalism ethics.
