Trump Campaign Manager Reveals Fox News Debate Chief Has Daughter Working for Rubio

Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager for 2016 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, exposed a blatant conflict of interest on Wednesday that the Fox News Channel has been hiding for months.

Lewandowski showed how Fox News has been hiding the fact that Fox News Channel Vice President Bill Sammon has a daughter working for the campaign of the Washington establishment-backed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Sammon's daughter, Brooke Sammon, is Rubio's national press secretary, and obviously both have a vested interest in the success of the Rubio campaign and the demise of the other campaigns.

CNN's Erin Burnett asked Lewandowski about Fox News's controversial anti-Trump statement from Tuesday evening--and specifically the network's claim that the top Trump aide had allegedly made threats against Fox News anchor and Thursday debate co-moderator Megyn Kelly--when he responded by dropping the explosive revelation.

Lewandowski revealed two things for the first time: that the executive he was discussing matters with was Bill Sammon, and that Sammon's daughter Brooke Sammon works for Rubio's campaign, giving the first-term Floridian Senator an obvious boost. That blatant conflict of interest has never before been disclosed to the viewers of Fox News by the network.

"Not only did I not make threats, but the conversation with the Fox News executive--his daughter works for the Rubio campaign, he's one of the executives on Fox that writes the debate questions so maybe he has his own ulterior motives, I'm not sure," Lewandowski told Burnett in the Wednesday evening CNN interview. He went on:

But his daughter is a senior executive on the Rubio campaign, maybe he should disclose that before he's writing the debate questions for Fox.

"STIREWALT: Well, the first thing is we have a secret weapon and that is Bill Salmon, who is the best at not only team cohesion and keeping everybody on point about what the point is, but in crafting the questions."

Exactly. Salmon is the factotum of Fox debates!

RE:”Senator Cruz, if elected are YOU going to be in charge or is Fox News going to be dictate TO you then also”

Cruz would say :”I plan on standing up to foreign dictators just like I did FNC. I will not cower and hide like Donald Trump is from Megyn Kelly. I am not scared of her”

[over3Owithabrain]

The Cruz people have their own conflicts of interest, with Levin shilling for his woman’s kid, The Beck/Cruz money trail, and Cruz’s New York money values with banks and gays.

I doubt Cruz or his fans will bother to support Trump on this lol

[maggief]

The “friend” has a colorful past.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Even Cruz supporters should find this upsetting as Fox is not kind to Cruz either. Let’s see honesty here.

I'm a Cruz supporter and I still say "So what?". The girl got a job. BFD.

Then there is this;

And of all the jobs she might have ended up with, it’s just a coincidence that a major network news exec’s daughter ended up with a well placed position with a presidential campaign.
What are the odds?

[Jay Thomas]

Not cowardliness. Trump has all the cards and momentum. I've waited for a republican to push back against network shenanigans.

[trisham]

This is really getting ridiculous. I hope that Trump is steadfast in his resolution to avoid this last debate.

[MNJohnnie]

You keep being a good little GOPe drone falling for the same smoke and mirrors you fallen for the last 27 years

Don’t expect the rest of us to follow suit.

[ScottinVA]

I’m laughing that you guys just can’t get over your hate

The fact that you and so many like you can't rise from using "hate" -- a term oh-so-overused by liberals -- to label those who oppose your candidate completely negates any validity to your argument.

So... try again, using some semblance of maturity in your terminology.

[Sybeck1]

They can’t see the forest because of the trees.

[ScottinVA]

So.. your contention is she has outsized influence over her father.

Laughable on its face.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Wow!

[Mr Rogers]

OH NO! Someone’s kid works on a campaign, and therefor poor little Donny will be beaten up by Megyn Kelly on national TV!

Run away! Run away!

[Dstorm]

And that’s got exactly what to do with my statement? Do you have children?

[beandog]

No, you’ll just keep following Pied Piper Trump.

[RummyChick]

It’s not just someone. It is a child of the person in charge of the debate and the questions.

[Sacajaweau]

Here honey....These are the questions. Give them to Marco. Make sure no one sees you. Don’t use your email or any other communication. Right into his pocket. You know how to do it.

[dynoman]

Allweed was spouting off about Trump’s muslim “ban” a while back. He’s NOT our friend.
