The Megyn Kelly–Sean Hannity beef continues. Yesterday’s episode of MediaBuzz included a taped interview conducted by host Howard Kurtz with Kelly, where the two spoke about Donald Trump-related stories in her new book Settle for More. Kurtz brought up a portion of the book where Kelly writes about how hosts from certain networks were “play acting” when they asked Trump critical questions during his appearances, and that they would often alert Trump in advance that tough questions would be asked so that the host would appear to have some credibility. “These were off-the-record conversations that I was privy to…I’m not allowed to name the names,” says Kelly during the interview. “But trust me, this did happen and it has been confirmed to me by more than one television executive.”
Hannity assumed that he was one of the hosts Kelly was referring to, and didn’t take too kindly to the accusation that he was leaking questions to Trump in advance, as evidenced by the tweets below.

Curious who she was referring to. I am transparent, I want to defeat Isis, protect the homeland and get people out of poverty and working! https://t.co/tranPp7y2k
