Attorney General William Barr met with Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday evening, according to the New York Times.

The meeting took place at Murdoch’s New York residence, the Times reported, but it is not immediately clear what was discussed or who else was in attendance. A representative for Fox Corporation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Barr and Murdoch’s reported meeting took place a day before President Donald Trump criticized Fox News on Twitter for the network’s poll on public attitudes toward the impeachment inquiry into Trump, which showed that 51% of respondents were in favor of impeaching and removing Trump from office.
