Ousted Fox CEO Roger Ailes Advising Trump on Presidential Debates

HeadlineAug 17, 2016

Meanwhile, former Fox News chair Roger Ailes is reportedly advising Donald Trump on next month’s debate between him and Hillary Clinton. Ailes resigned from Fox News in July. He has been accused of sexual harassment by more than 20 women, including Fox News anchors Megyn Kelly, Andrea Tantaros and Gretchen Carlson. Ailes has also been accused of running his own “Black Room” operation out of Fox News, in which he used Fox money to hire private detectives and political operatives who carried out Ailes’s personal campaigns, including targeting journalists. Trump has called Ailes a friend and has defended Ailes after the harassment allegations.
