2016 ELECTION/MEDIA/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “On Dec. 10, 2016, the Fox News anchor Chris Wallace spent several hours interviewing Donald J. Trump for an episode of ‘Fox News Sunday.’ Mr. Wallace spoke with Mr. Trump at Trump Tower in Manhattan and then flew with Mr. Trump and his advisers to the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore, where their conversation continued. In the broadcast, which aired the next day, Mr. Wallace pressed the president-elect about Russian intervention in the 2016 election, his unorthodox cabinet appointments and why Mr. Trump believed it was ethical to maintain his private business interests while in office. One exchange between the two men did not make the cut: a question about Michael G. Flynn, the son of Mr. Trump’s choice for national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn.”
