A former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton says ABC News should hire an external law firm to conduct an internal investigation into whether the network was involved in “rigging the outcome” of the presidential debate.
The demand was made by political strategist and pollster Mark Penn, who was a chief strategist for Hillary Clinton during her 2008 presidential campaign.
“I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don’t know how much of this was planned in advance,” Penn told the John Solomon Reports podcast.
“I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that,” he added.
