Newsmax is owned by Trump friend Chris Ruddy. The bookers — who try to land guests at a moment’s notice — said they believe his network courted them because it wants to gain their contacts.

A spokesperson for Newsmax did not respond to a request for comment. Fox News did not immediately provide a comment.
