Now, Kelly will sit down with The Donald for what appears to be a highly anticipated interview, and according to the Post, “nothing will be off limits” for her to ask him.
Discussing the meeting that night on The Kelly File, the FNC anchor said that “The meeting was at my request, and Mr. Trump was gracious enough to agree to it. We met for about an hour, just the two of us, and had a chance to clear the air”.
The interview will air on May 17 as part of Megyn Kelly Presents, Kelly’s recently announced debut primetime special for Fox.
Quipping that the doormen at Trump Tower “were surprised to see me”, Kelly said on her show at the time that she discussed “the possibility of an interview” with Trump, adding ‘I hope we will have news to announce soon’.
It will mark Kelly’s first interview with Trump since the fallout from their encounter during a Fox News Channel debate in August. I’ve been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be, based on the way you have treated me.
Kelly and Trump’s second debate go-around, in March, proved far milder than the initial Republican debate that aired on Fox News last August.
FILE – In this April 6, 2016 file photo, Megyn Kelly attends The Hollywood Reporter’s “35 Most Powerful People in Media” celebration in NY. She will also examine Trump’s successful campaign for the White House to date and his role in one of the most historic presidential runs in modern times.
Kelly asked him why he called women “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals”.
Fox News criticized Trump for having a “sick obsession” about Kelly and engaging in conduct unbecoming of a presidential candidate.
FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes is the show’s senior executive producer, while broadcast veteran Bill Geddie serves as the executive producer.
