According to an explosive new report that dropped today, officials actually within Donald Trump’s corrupt administration and his children aren’t the only ones seeking favors based on their loyalty or closeness to number 45.
The Hollywood Reporter published a bombshell report today that revealed that Fox News personality Bret Baier allegedly requested special treatment from Donald Trump’s Treasury Department.
Baier is a “hard news” anchor for the media network’s “Special Report” segment.
The nonprofit group Democracy Forward provided a treasure trove of emails to the Hollywood Reporter, in which the Fox News personality is shown asking that officials within the Treasury Department for a tour of the U.S. Mint for himself, his family, and a family friend — a request that, per the report, was promptly granted to the Trump loyalist.

“If it doesn’t work — don’t worry about it,” the Fox host’s email to former Treasury spokesman Tony Sayegh reads. “Meant to request last week. Don’t spend too much time on it. If you can point us to someone — and it’s easy — great. If not — no worries. Thanks.”
The emails provided to the news publication then show Sayegh immediately sending an email to a Treasury Department staffer reading, “Bret Baier is asking to help him get his friends and family a Mint tour tomorrow. Who can help us do that?”
The emails in which the Treasury Department was asked for favors weren’t limited to just the one anchor either. According to the report, other members of the Fox News Network would regularly reach out to Trump’s Treasury Department to ask for things such as political help, as well.
One email shows the booker for the Dana Perino Show asking Secretary Steve Mnuchin if he happened to have any political policies he would like to peddle on the show’s platform.
In case you’d ever had a shadow of a doubt as to whether Fox News really and truly did work for the president alone, this should absolve that completely.
Fox can no longer be referred to as a non-biased media outlet meant to inform the people. They’re essentially no more than a state-run network — working by and for Donald Trump and his administration and no one else.
