Trump to sit down with Fox’s Chris Wallace on Sunday

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Sunday will interview President Trump for the first time since he took office, according to the network.

Wallace served as moderator for the third presidential debate between Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but has not interviewed Trump since he was inaugurated in January 2017.

“The wide-ranging interview will take place amid last week’s midterm election results, President Trump’s appointment of Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, reports that the President may issue written answers to the special counsel, along with questions about Saudi Arabia’s role in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and CNN’s lawsuit against the White House,” the network said in a release Thursday.

The president has granted Fox News and Fox Business Network more than three dozen interviews since taking office, which have mostly been conducted by opinion hosts like Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro and the hosts of “Fox & Friends.”

The “Fox News Sunday” interview with Wallace marks the second time the President has sat down for a Sunday show interview, with the last coming with CBS’s John Dickerson on “Face the Nation” in May 2017.

Trump has recently been more active in granting interviews to other outlets, which have included his first interview as president with “60 Minutes” and a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, both occurring in October.
