Many on Fox News have insisted throughout the Ukraine scandal that Trump couldn’t possibly have committed a crime. Now, Fox News is predictably reacting to the news of the GAO decision the same way that the network has approached most impeachment facts that are unfavorable to Trump: downplay the story, discredit the source as biased toward Democrats, claim it’s all part of a plot to take down Trump, and attack the media for covering it.

Fox & Friends introduced a conspiracy theory suggesting that the GAO released the report as the Senate impeachment trial began in order to hurt Trump. Co-host Steve Doocy asked if it’s “just a coincidence that that news would drop exactly the same day the same trial started.” Guest co-host Pete Hegseth sarcastically asked, “Yeah, how did that work out?”

Later in the show, the co-hosts again questioned the “timing of it.” Doocy chided the fact that “the same that the trial starts in the Senate and suddenly, the GAO comes in and says, ‘Aha! They broke the law. Stop the presses.” Co-host Ainsley Earhardt commented that “the media is giddy.”

Also on Fox & Friends, Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera said that he doesn’t “believe in coincidences,” responding to the co-hosts’ conspiracy theory that the report was nefariously released to hurt Trump. Rivera added that the GAO “does work for the Congress, and we know who runs the Congress, so the report is suspect in its timing,” implying that the Democratic control of the House influenced the nonpartisan agency to release the report, which Rivera insisted is “not an indictment” of the president.
