Megyn Kelly: Debate Question Leaked to Trump

It's not only Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton who got a heads-up on debate questions this election season, according to Megyn Kelly's new memoir "Settle for More."

According to a New York Times review of the book, Republican candidate – and now President-elect – Donald Trump managed to get one of her questions ahead of time.

And, yes, it was the infamous question that started the feud between the Trump and Kelly.

"[T]he day before the first presidential debate, Mr. Trump was in a lather again, Ms. Kelly writes," according to the Times review. "He called Fox executives, saying he'd heard that her first question 'was a very pointed question directed at him.' This disconcerted her, because it was true: It was about his history of using disparaging language about women."

Kelly does not make any speculation about how Trump got the question, but the Times reviewer writes that one of the memoirs takeaways is that "Parts of Fox — or at the very least, Roger Ailes, the network’s chairman until July, when he was given the boot after several allegations of sexual harassment were made against him — seemed to be nakedly colluding with the Republican presidential nominee."
