Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has declined to participate in a special Fox News event on Wednesday in which Megyn Kelly will interview the GOP candidates.
The decision, which his campaign attributed to pre-existing campaign engagements, is likely to reignite discussion about Trump’s longstanding feud with the network and with Kelly, whom Trump has accused of being unfair to him.
However, Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks told CNNMoney that the GOP hopeful will attend next month’s Fox News debate in Detroit, Michigan, which is being co-moderated by Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace.
“The campaign has a previous engagement in Virginia and then New York, which could not be rescheduled. Given this was just proposed at the last minute it was not possible to change our plans in order to attend. Mr. Trump looks forward to participating in the next FOX News debate,” Hicks wrote in an email.
