Unsubstantiated claims about ABC whistleblower affidavit spread

Rumors have been swirling about an alleged whistleblower at ABC News accusing the network of colluding with Kamala Harris’ campaign prior to the Sept. 10 debate. The controversy comes amidst accusations of bias against ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis by former President Donald Trump and some of his supporters.

Social media posts have gone viral, alleging that an ABC News whistleblower claims Harris received debate questions in advance and was promised to be shielded from fact-checking, all outlined in a signed affidavit dated just before the debate.

Subsequent posts, including one from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, suggest that the supposed whistleblower met a tragic end in a car crash, although these claims lack substantiation.

Multiple readers have reached out to us to VERIFY the authenticity of these claims and shed light on the alleged whistleblower and their affidavit.
