The Fix is in! It's a big conspiracy!

Poor Trump is the victim! Send him all your money.
ABC has denied that Vice President Kamala Harris was provided with any
questions ahead of Tuesday�s debate, shooting down one of the talking
points that right-wingers�including former President Donald Trump�tried to
use to explain the former president�s much-criticized debate performance.

�Absolutely not,� an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. �Harris
was not given any questions before the debate.�

The network�s debate rules stated that �no topics or questions will be
shared in advance with campaigns or candidates.�

The spokesperson also said no aides were in contact with moderators David
Muir and Linsey Davis. Trump aides have attacked the moderators as �agents
of the Harris campaign� following their efforts, which have been almost
universally lauded.

Trump tried to lay the groundwork for potential debate shenanigans ahead of
the debate that would excuse his performance, speculating on both Truth
Social and to Sean Hannity that ABC panelist Donna Brazile�who famously
tipped off Hillary Clinton about questions ahead of CNN events in
2016�would share questions with Harris. It came as Trump has repeatedly
attacked the network�which he is currently suing�as biased.

�Will panelist Donna Brazil [sic] give the questions to the Marxist
Candidate like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton?� Trump wrote.

But the idea that questions were indeed handed over in advance got its
first dose of oxygen was on Wednesday, when Trump told Fox & Friends that
he felt Harris was �awfully familiar� with the questions as he debated her.

It was further amplified on Thursday by Leading Report, a website that has
repeatedly shared misinformation on everything from politicians to
networks. It claimed on X that an ABC whistleblower would �allegedly�
release an affidavit that said the Harris campaign was given sample
questions in advance and that Harris was given �assurances� that only Trump
would be fact-checked during Tuesday�s debate. (A source familiar with the
matter dismissed the purported �assurances� claim as untrue.)

The website has recently claimed, among other things, that CNN would add a
1-2 minute delay to its June 27 debate (it did not); and that World
Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab had been �allegedly� hospitalized in
April (he was not).

It seemed to have picked up the claim about the questions from an X account
called �Black Insurrectionist.� The account tweeted on Thursday that they
would release the affidavit �before the weekend is out.� It offered no
proof to back up the claim.

Still, billionaire-turned-X-scribe Bill Ackman boosted the Leading Report
post to his 1.4 million followers. �If this turns out to be true, this is a
serious breach of journalistic ethics and a death blow to @ABCNetwork
reputation,� he wrote.

Trump has repeatedly labeled the debate unfair and has claimed he was
battling �THREE ON ONE� throughout the more than 90-minute telecast�all as
he claimed he delivered his best debate performance yet. He wrote early
Thursday the network should �fire everybody� and claimed later in the day
he would not do another debate with Harris.

The Harris campaign responded by calling him a chicken.
