Trump Allegedly Received Fox News Town Hall Questions in Advance, New Book Reveals
A forthcoming book claims a Fox insider leaked town hall questions to Trump’s team and details his consideration of Maria Bartiromo as a potential running mate.
- Alex Isenstadt's upcoming book 'Revenge' alleges that Trump's team received Fox News town hall questions 30 minutes before the event in January 2024.
- Fox News has stated it plans to investigate the claims but has not found evidence of a breach within the network thus far.
- The book also reveals that Trump seriously considered Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo as his vice-presidential pick before being advised against it by his campaign staff.
- Bartiromo has been a long-time Trump ally, known for her defense of his policies and her promotion of election fraud conspiracy theories, which led to Fox News settling a defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million.
- Trump’s team reportedly used the leaked town hall questions to prepare responses, addressing topics like political violence and divestment from his businesses.
