Fox News is disputing a claim made by former President Trump that “people from Fox” helped write jokes he delivered at a Catholic charity banquet this week.

“Your material was real funny, who wrote it,” “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy asked Trump during the former president’s in-studio visit to the program Friday.

“I had a lot of people helping,” Trump responded about his jokes at the Al Smith dinner. “A lot of people, a couple people from Fox — actually, I shouldn’t say that — but they wrote some jokes. For the most part, I didn’t like any of them.”

The network said Friday afternoon in a statement to The Hill it had “confirmed that no employee or freelancers wrote the jokes.”
