Fox, White House at odds over traditional pre-Super Bowl interview with president

It doesn't look like the traditional pre-Super Bowl interview with the president will be happening this year, as dueling statements from Fox Corporation and the White House stirred confusion Friday. 

On Friday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted that the president "was looking forward to an interview with Fox Soul to discuss the Super Bowl, the State of the Union, and critical issues impacting the everyday lives of Black Americans," but that the White House had "been informed that Fox Corp has asked for the interview to be cancelled."

Hours later, Fox, which is broadcasting Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, suggested the interview would take place after all.
