Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly will sit down with Republican frontrunner Donald Trump for a special airing May 17.
Megyn Kelly Presents will be her first prime-time special for Fox News, and snippets from the interview will air the next day on her program The Kelly File. Kelly said in a statement she met with Trump earlier this month at Trump Tower at her request, and he was "gracious with his time and I asked him to consider an interview. I am happy to announce he has agreed, and I look forward to a fascinating exchange — our first sit-down interview in nearly a year."
Trump has lashed out at Kelly several times since she asked him during the first Republican debate last year about derogatory comments he made about women. He has questioned her reporting skills, called on people to boycott her show, and referred to her as "sick" and the "most overrated person" on television.
