Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo shared her questions for President Donald Trump with then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in advance of the ex-president’s first post-2020 election interview, texts obtained by CNN revealed on Friday.
In a text exchange with Meadows less than an hour before her Nov. 29, 2020 on-air chat with Trump, Bartiromo shared a series of questions she planned on asking the outgoing president. At the time, Team Trump was attempting to overthrow President Joe Biden’s decisive election victory. Bartiromo was also one of the network’s top boosters of Trump’s election fraud lies.
“Hi the public wants to know he will fight this. They want to hear a path to victory. & he’s in control,” she texted at 9:21 a.m. ET. “1Q You’ve said MANY TIMES THIS ELECTION IS RIGGED… And the facts are on your side. Let’s start there. What are the facts? Characterize what took place here.”
