President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner did call Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch to complain about the Arizona call, the network’s Howard Kurtz confirmed Sunday.
A Nov. 4 report from The New York Times alleged that Trump “erupted” after hearing that Fox News called Arizona for President-elect Joe Biden with just 73% of votes counted. The network’s Decision Desk kept with their announcement, even after the Trump campaign publicly criticized its director.
Kurtz, the host of Fox News’ “Media Buzz,” confirmed one particular detail from the NYT alleging that Kushner “was also in touch with Rupert Murdoch … as the night wore on.”
