Trump Met With Fox News Execs Asking Him To Participate In GOP Debate Hours After Indictment, Reports Say

Fox News’ president and chief executive officer met with former President Donald Trump just hours after his third indictment on Tuesday, urging Trump to participate in the network’s first GOP presidential debate, multiple outlets reported—as Trump hints that he may sit out the debate and publicly feuds with the conservative network.

Trump dined with Fox News President Jay Wallace and CEO Suzanne Scott at his Bedminster golf club while the executives attempted to persuade him to participate in the debate later this month, which Trump has publicly considered skipping.

The Times reported that Trump did not commit to participating in the debate at the dinner but said he hadn’t made a decision and would “keep an open mind.”
