Trump continues to pan ABC News over debate, saying network “should be investigated”

 Former President Donald Trump continues to criticize the network that hosted his September 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, saying in an interview that aired Saturday that he thought ABC should be “investigated.”

“I think they should be investigated and, you know, they have to get a license from the federal government. They asked me nine or 11 different times about things that I was right on virtually every case. I was absolutely right,” Trump said in the interview with Fox News.

“And they didn’t ask her anything about things she was wrong on,” the former president said.

“What is so sad is that they’re allowed to do that so they interrupted me but didn’t interrupt her, and she was the one that was wrong,” Trump added. 

Trump previously called for ABC to lose its broadcast license the morning after his face-off with Harris while claiming that the debate was “rigged.” The former president has also baselessly suggested that Harris was given the questions in advance. 

Trump added in the interview that he didn’t think his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, would “get a fair shot” at his vice presidential debate with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be hosted by CBS on October 1. 

“He won’t get a fair shot, but he will handle it very good, very smart. I think he’s done great. People are really liking him. He’s tough, smart. He loves our country. He’s going to have no trouble,” Trump said. 

Trump also praised his wife, former first lady Melania Trump, as a “tremendous person, very precise, very accurate,” when asked about her upcoming memoir. 

“I do believe she loves her husband. That’s probably the biggest surprise to a lot of people, come to think of it. But she loves her husband,” the former president said. 

In a video posted on social media earlier this month to promote her book, Melania Trump said she felt “a responsibility to clarify the facts.”

“I believe it is important to share my perspective: the truth,” the former first lady says in the video.
