The letter, addressed to the Commission on Presidential Debates and signed by Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, insisted that the final debate focus on foreign policy, claiming the campaigns had agreed on the topics months ago.

Trump has also personally ridiculed debate moderators, claiming they’re biased against him. He went after Welker on Saturday, tweeting that she’s ‘terrible & unfair.'”
