Book Alleges Fox News Shared Trump Town Hall Questions

A forthcoming book titled 'Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power' by Politico's Alex Isenstadt claims that Donald Trump's team received advance questions from a Fox News insider prior to a January 2024 town hall in Iowa. The book alleges that about 30 minutes before the event, a senior aide got text messages containing exact questions and follow-ups that Trump would face, including topics on business divestment and political violence. While Trump was reportedly displeased with the nature of the questions, the leaked information allowed his team to prepare responses. Fox News has stated they lack evidence of this occurrence but will investigate any potential breaches, emphasizing the importance of journalistic ethics in maintaining confidentiality. The Trump camp has not directly addressed the allegations but has defended Trump's transparency as a candidate. The book's release is anticipated in March 2024, raising concerns over the integrity of political journalism.
