ABC News has yet to comment on a document said to be from an anonymous 'whistleblower' that claims there was close collaboration between the network and Kamala Harris’s team before the debate.
The unverified document, said to be a sworn affidavit signed by a notary public on September 9, has sparked controversy as it has spread online.
It alleges that ABC News gave Harris questions ahead of the debate, along with agreeing to preconditions to give her a leg up on former President Donald Trump.
It was purportedly penned by a male staffer who has worked at the station for some ten years, during which time he said their style of reporting has become increasingly troublesome. It was dated the day before Harris faced off with Trump, in what many observers saw as a victory for the vice president.
The purported staffer also claimed to have sent the document to House Speaker Mike Johnson.
DailyMail.com reached out to several members of ABC's communications team for comment Monday morning, but has yet to receive a response.
The document continues to pick up steam on social media, after first surfacing on the account of right-wing influencer and January 6 participant Philip Anderson last week, two days after the debate.
Despite being unverified, it has spawned a torrent of discourse - with big names like Bill Ackman and Marjorie Taylor Greene seemingly buying in.
'This looks credible,' wrote Ackman, the 58-year-old billionaire hedge fund manager on Sunday, re-sharing a post showing the six pages in question.
Greene, the MAGA Republican from Georgia, took it even further, re-sharing a since-disproved blog post that claimed the whistleblower died on Sunday.
'The ABC whistleblower who claimed Kamala Harris was given debate questions ahead of the debate has died in a car crash according to news reports,' Greene wrote in a post on X that remains up.
