In August, Trump would not comment when reports surfaced of Ailes taking on a debate advisory role.



"Well, I don't want to comment. But he's been a friend of mine for a long time," Trump told NBC's "Meet the Press" on July 24.

Ailes, 76, resigned from Fox News on July 21, just 15 days after a sexual harassment suit was filed against him by former host Gretchen Carlson.



The news of Trump and Ailes reportedly no longer speaking comes as Trump and Clinton take to the stage Wednesday night in Las Vegas for the third and final presidential debate of 2016.
