ABC Responds to Viral ‘Whistleblower Affidavit’ That Claims Harris Cheated During Debate, Received Questions in AdvanceABC News finds itself at the center of a controversy surrounding the recent Trump-Harris presidential debate.

The network vehemently denies allegations of collusion with Harris’s team, following the emergence of a document purportedly written by an anonymous “whistleblower.”

The unverified affidavit, allegedly sworn and notarized on September 9, claims that ABC News provided Harris with debate questions in advance and agreed to certain preconditions to give her an advantage over Trump.

Daily Mail reported that the document, supposedly authored by a male staffer with a decade-long tenure at the network, has rapidly gained traction on social media platforms.x


ABC News swiftly responded to the allegations, stating, “ABC News followed the debate rules that both campaigns agreed on and which clearly state: No topics or questions will be shared in advance with campaigns or candidates.”

The network’s statement directly contradicts the claims made in the purported affidavit, as reported by Daily Mail.

The controversial document first surfaced on the social media account of Philip Anderson, a right-wing influencer, just days after the debate.

Despite its unverified status, the allegations have sparked intense discussion among political figures and public personalities.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman weighed in on the matter, describing the allegations as “credible.”

Ackman pointed to specific details mentioned in the affidavit, such as Harris’s smaller podium, which only became public knowledge after the debate.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) initially shared a since-debunked claim about the whistleblower’s death but later retracted her statement.

She continued to call for a “serious investigation” into the allegations, however.

The document alleges that Harris would not be subject to the same fact-checking as Trump during the debate.

It also claims that certain topics were off-limits, including questions about President Biden’s health, Harris’s tenure as California Attorney General and her brother-in-law, Tony West.

Daily Mail highlighted that West, who is married to Harris’s sister Maya, has been described by The New York Times as “a major force behind Ms. Harris’s campaign and its record-setting fund-raising.”

The document makes unsubstantiated claims about West’s alleged involvement in embezzlement and potential role in a future Harris administration.

As the controversy continues to unfold, many observers are calling for a thorough investigation to determine the veracity of the claims.

The incident has reignited discussions about debate fairness and transparency in political campaigns.

While the allegations remain unproven, the rapid spread of the document highlights the power of social media in shaping public discourse.

As millions of users engage with the story, it underscores the challenges of verifying information in the digital age.

This controversy serves as a reminder of the intense scrutiny faced by both candidates and media organizations as the 2024 presidential race heats up.

The coming days will likely see further developments as more details emerge and investigations potentially unfold.
