President Trump reportedly called 21st Century Fox Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch ahead of Disney’s announcement that it would purchase of much of his company to make sure the deal wouldn’t impact Fox News.
According to a New York Times report published Saturday, Trump made the call before news of the sale emerged earlier this month.
The president frequently watches Fox News and often tweets about the network’s coverage of his administration.
Murdoch reportedly assured Trump that the network would not be impacted by the sale.
Fox News and Fox Business Network were not part of the $52.4 billion deal that Disney announced.
The White House told reporters last week that Trump made a congratulatory call to Murdoch on the deal.
