Fox News Personalities Enriched Trump By Appearances At Hotels

Reprinted with permission from MediaMatters

At least 17 Fox News personalities have helpedĀ enrich Donald Trump by speaking at events at hisĀ properties since he announced his presidential run in 2015. They have headlined pro-Trump gatherings; have held book parties; and have keynoted industry events. Additionally, numerous Fox News figures have visited Trump properties for social occasions, including golf and dinner outingsĀ with the president.

During his presidency,Ā TrumpĀ hasĀ frequentlyĀ mergedĀ hisĀ presidential and businessĀ interests, creatingĀ unprecedentedĀ conflicts of interestĀ andĀ constitutionalĀ issues. As The New York Times recentlyĀ reported, ā€œSince Mr. Trump became president, there have been thousands of visits to his properties, not only by Mr. Trump himself, but by foreign leaders, lobbyists, Republican candidates, members of Congress, cabinet members and others with ties to the president. At least 90 members of Congress, 250 Trump administration officials and more than 110 foreign officials have been spotted at Trump properties since 2017, according to social media posts and counts by various watchdog groups.ā€

Fox News figures have also helped enrich Trump by speaking at events at hisĀ properties since he announced his presidential run in 2015. Those personalities are: Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Greg Gutfeld, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, and Jeanine Pirro; Fox Nation hosts Diamond and Silk;Ā Fox News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt;Ā Fox News legal analyst and commentator and Fox Nation hostĀ Gregg Jarrett; and Fox News contributors Deneen Borelli, David Bossie, Sara Carter, Nigel Farage, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Alveda King.Ā Additionally, Fox News contributors Jason Chaffetz and Sarah Huckabee Sanders are scheduled to speak at events at a Trump property in October.

Additionally, numerous Fox News figures haveĀ helped enrich Trump through social visits to his properties, such as attending dinners, golf outings, and galas. For example, Fox News anchor Bret Baier dined at Mar-a-Lago and golfed with Trump, while Fox News politics reporterĀ Brooke Singman tweeted that she enjoyed a visit to Trump Winery in Charlottesville, Virginia.

In researching Foxā€™s enrichment of Trump, Media Matters relied heavily on the work of reporterĀ Zach Everson, whoseĀ 1100 Pennsylvania newsletter covers Trumpā€™s businesses.

Less than two weeks after a gunman fatally shot ten people in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, the United States suffered yet another mass shooting when, on Tuesday, May 24, a gunman killed at least 21 people in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas ā€” including 19 children. And hours after that massacre, according to the Dallas Morning News, Gov. Greg Abbott attended a campaign fundraising event in East Texas.

The event was held at a time when other Texas officials were canceling similar events because of the Uvalde tragedy. Abbott, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump and is seeking a third term, recently defeated challengers in Texasā€™ 2022 GOP gubernatorial primary ā€” and he is now competing with Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto Oā€™Rourke, a former congressman and 2020 presidential candidate, in the general election.

The testimony was obtained from a former Meadows aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, who had already testified that Meadows was warned that Republican plans to overturn the election with sham electors werenā€™t ā€œlegally soundā€ and that Trumpā€™s January 6 rally could turn violent.
