A whistleblower at ABC has sworn under penalty of perjury that the Kamala Harris campaign colluded with ABC News to craft the debate to her liking and even received questions ahead of time.
The whistleblower, a 10-year veteran of the outlet, testified in a 6-page affidavit released Sunday that ABC News and other major news organizations “no longer adhere to impartiality” and warned that the debate would demonstrate more anti-Trump bias.
“I have noted specific instances related to the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris that raise concerns about procedural fairness,” the whistleblower wrote on Sept. 9, the day before the debate.

According to the whistleblower, the Harris campaign received many “particular accommodations” from ABC News, including a smaller podium for Harris and fact-checks reserved only for Trump.
“The Harris campaign received particular accommodations, including, but not limited to, the providing of a podium significantly smaller than that used by Donald Trump, and assurances regarding split-screen television views that would favorably impact Kamala Harris’s appearance relative to Donald Trump,” the whistleblower testified.
“It was agreed that Donald Trump would be subjected to fact-checking during the debate, while Kamala Harris would not face comparable scrutiny. This was widely known throughout the company that Donald Trump would be fact checked. In fact, various people were assigned to fact check observations it was perceived candidate Trump would make during the debate. In fact, Harris campaign required assurances that Donald Trump would be fact checked. This was done via multiple communications with the Harris campaign whereas the Trump campaign was not included in the negotiations.”
“To my understanding, any rules negotiated and conversations pertaining to the debate should have had both the Trump and Harris campaign involved, the Harris campaign had numerous more calls regarding the debate rules without the Trump campaign aware or on the call.”
The whistleblower also asserted the Harris campaign was furnished with “sample questions that, while not the exact questions, covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.”
Additionally, the Harris campaign demanded several “restrictions on the scope of questioning”:
- No questions regarding the perceived health of Joe Biden.
- No inquiries related to her tenure as Attorney General in San Francisco.
- No questions concerning her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds and who may be involved in her administration if elected.
Lastly, the whistleblower claimed ABC News has a “pronounced bias against Donald Trump” and employees who support him fear “retribution.”
Trump himself lambasted ABC News on Saturday over its blatant bias against him during the debate, where Kamala was not fact checked even once despite peddling several massive and easily disprovable lies.
“ABC FAKE NEWS has been completely discredited, and is now under investigation. Did they give Comrade Kamala the questions? It was 3 on 1, but they were mentally challenged people, against one person of extraordinary genius. It wasn’t even close, as is now reflected in the polls. I WON THE DEBATE!” he wrote on Truth Social.
ABC News has not yet responded to the veracity of the whistleblower’s claims as of this writing.
