Roger Ailes had three brief conversations with Donald Trump today about possibly appearing at the debate – there were not multiple calls placed by Ailes to Trump. In the course of those conversations, we acknowledged his concerns about a satirical observation we made in order to quell the attacks on Megyn Kelly, and prevent her from being smeared any further. Furthermore, Trump offered to appear at the debate upon the condition that FOX News contribute $5 million to his charities. We explained that was not possible and we could not engage in a quid pro quo, nor could any money change hands for any reason. In the last 48 hours, we’ve kept two issues at the forefront — we would never compromise our journalistic standards and we would always stand by our journalist, Megyn Kelly. We have accomplished those two goals and we are pleased with the outcome. We’re very proud to have her on stage as a debate moderator alongside Bret Baier & Chris Wallace.

three = multiple......?
Donnie wanted his butt kissed. So sad, too bad.
What a negotiator! Trump wins again.
I'm gonna place a call, they say no, I say bye bye....tell ya what, next day they will be calling me and I will offer $$ and their gonna take it..........hahahaha.
Ailes kicked his you know what... Bye Bye.
Faux News trying to explain its EPIC fail
sour grapes
...we acknowledged his concerns about a satirical observation we made in order to quell the attacks on Megyn Kelly...
This is where this all started — with Ailes. If he had never been arrogant enough to do that tweet none of this would have happened. It also was NOT a satirical OBSERVATION made to QUELL attacks on Kelly, it was a deliberate, biased, threat that DT was going to get the treatment. All of this is because of Ailes and his establishment elitist arrogance.
Good for him Ailes.
Let me assure all here. ailes will be fired before Monday IMO.
You seem to forget that it was Ailes that contacted Trump to beg him to come back to his office party.
Ailes = fail!
Fox News = pathetic losers!
Fox begged like dogs for days and lost. As will your boy on Monday.
Ailes cost Trump nothing. Trump cost Ailes quite a bit. I did not see this debate but from what I have read, Cruz and Rubio both did poorly. I would say Trump got what he wanted out of the deal.
“...Roger Ailes had three brief conversations with Donald Trump today about possibly appearing at the debate...there were not multiple calls placed by Ailes to Trump...”
Please tell us what number represents “multiple”.....
After her Howard Stern interview and her GQ spread, Trump nailed her as a Bimbo.. I agree.
Do not count your chickens early. Wait until ratings for Fox debate come out tomorrow morning.
The dynamic duo. Bill Sammon Vice-President Fox News Washington Managing editor 
and his daughter Brooke Sammon National press secretary for Marco Rubio They both did their job well in trying to prop up the fast talking, sweating Marco Rubio
