Donald Trump on Tuesday disputed Megyn Kelly's claim that the celebrity billionaire tried to "woo" the Fox News host before he entered the presidential race.
Trump told The Hill that "the last person in the world I would try to woo is Megyn Kelly."
Kelly, the host of Fox News's "The Kelly File," told Vanity Fair that Trump, now the party's front-runner, tried to win points with her by sending her press clippings about her and signing his name. She said he would also call to compliment her on TV segments.
"I didn't know why he was doing that," she said. "And then when he announced he was running for president, it became more clear. But I can't be wooed. I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him."
Trump denied those claims, adding that the campaign does send television anchors polling data. It has been reported that Trump has sent private notes to the media, including conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. The article, which ran on the liberal-leaning Talking Points Memo, pointed out that the real estate tycoon subsequently ripped Hewitt after what Trump deemed a "gotcha" interview.
According to a Mediaite report, Trump complimented Kelly in 2011 on her moderating skills, saying, "You've done a great job and I mean it."
Trump and Kelly clashed at the first Republican debate in August after the Fox News host pressed him on his controversial remarks about women. After that debate, Trump said Kelly was unfair; Kelly stood her ground in a subsequent broadcast.
On Tuesday, Trump said, "I'm not sure she can be fair and balanced because she has a thing with Donald Trump."

Woo Hooo!
Megyn Kelly has such an ego. She should try to tamp it down a bit as it’s unbecoming IMHO.
If they have the same blood type, Trump could provide a transfusion....
What you want to bet she has evidence?
I don’t have a problem with Kelly or Trump. You have strong egos, big personalities, with lots at stake - there will be occasional fireworks. In fact, I rather like having an aggressive POTUS who will fight when provoked (like Putin does).
Why is Megyn Kelly sexually harassing Donald Trump?
My wife hates the “woman attitude” of Megyn.
She’s almost as prideful and annoying as Hillary.
Sorry. Trump lies constantly. I’ll take Kelly’s side on this.
If I remember right from the other day he was sending her info and calling her before he announced and she did not know why until he announced.
Of course does not matter to trumpees so if you think this is something to crow about go ahead on.
What you want to bet conservativejoy is on this thread like stink on 0bama?
I'm just in it for fun at the moment.
Good for Trump to speaking up about the BLOODY KELLY and her delusions.
I would bet you. Megyn Kelly is a skank. Trump probably rebuffed her come-on & hell hath no fury. . .
According to who??? Megyn Kelly??
The good news is that sick woman has been banned from the debates by Roger Aisles. She will not be a “moderatoress”
Sounds very sexual.
I had not heard that—Kelly is not going to be a moderator of this month’s Fox debate?
Poor Megyn is woozy.
