Former Trump White House official Stephanie Grisham knows a lot about the goings-on with the previous administration. Fox News is now plagued with a scandal that could easily see the network fork over $1.6 billion to Dominion Voting Systems over their defamation lawsuit against them.

Fox News head honcho Rupert Murdoch went as far as to leak Biden's ad information to Trump's son-in-law Slenderman Jared Kushner. Fox News wanted Trump to win. Interestingly, they can't get away from him fast enough lately. Tucker Carlson texted a colleague, saying he hates Trump "passionately."

Grisham told CNN host Jim Acosta that Trump had a "very cozy" relationship with Fox News. "If he didn't like something, we would immediately call Fox and have them fix it or try to make a new story out of it," she said. Grisham further said that they worked "hand in hand."

Olivia Troye, a homeland security and counter-terrorism adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence, weighed in to confirm Grisham's remarks.

"Yup. I witnessed Trump task this out during meetings," she wrote on Twitter. "He asked staffers to call Fox and tell them to fix their talking points or told them to berate them for giving someone a tough interview & ensure they rectified it."

Quelle surprise!
