A top Democrat in Congress is demanding answers about comments Donald Trump made in an interview that aired on the network in June of 2024, in which the then-candidate tried to cast doubt on any information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump told interviewer Rachel Campos-Duffy"wife of current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy"that as president he may choose not "declassify" documents related to Epstein in case they contain "phony stuff""but the network left that part out of his answer when it first aired on television. A Fox News spokesperson denied that the omissions were "selective editing," in a statement to The Daily Beast, but California Rep. Robert Garcia, who heads the House Oversight Committee, insists in a letter obtained by CNN that "Fox News' selective omission raises serious concerns that the network may have deliberately sought to shield then-candidate Trump from any further association with Epstein."
