Former President Trump expressed his disappointment with Fox News during an interview with Brett Baier. He also defended himself against the federal indictment by special counsel Jack Smith and highlighted President Biden’s past controversy involving classified documents.
“For me, at times, the Washington Post, various people – even Fox because, you know, I’m no great fan of Fox anymore,” Trump told Baier. “But you’re sitting here,” the Fox host replied. “Well, you’ve gotta get your word out somehow, right?” Trump shot back.
“They fought me very hard in 2016, very much like the way they’re fighting me now – very, very hard and, I won. Then they became very nice,” Trump said.
According to Baier, Fox News has a higher number of independent viewers than any other cable news network. “More independent voters watch Fox News than any other TV source,” he said. “A whole lot less than used to watch it,” Trump immediately fired back.
“They do watch,” Baier replied. “A-lot less, Brett,” the former president reaffirmed.
Furthermore, Trump spoke about the federal indictment of special counsel Jack Smith. He stated that he is currently polling very well, with a significant lead over both Biden and all other Republican candidates. Trump added that his poll numbers are currently the highest they have ever been. “People see this stuff for what it is; it’s a political witch hunt, it’s a continuation.”
A recent poll from Harvard/CAPS Harris has supported Trump’s claim as it found that 56% of registered voters think that the indictment is driven by political motivations. A slightly larger percentage of voters believe that the charges are a form of interference in the election.
The former president pointed out the double standard regarding the indictment and President Biden’s classified documents scandal. “You wanna talk about a mess? Look at Biden, where he’s got 1,850 boxes. He has boxes stored in Chinatown in D.C., he has boxes stored at Penn Center, and he has boxes under his corvette and around his corvette, sitting in a garage for years,” he continued.
