(Paul Zimmerman--WireImage) Paul Zimmerman—WireImage  by [Charlotte Alter](https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/)  ## Charlotte Alter Senior Correspondent Apr 25, 2016 10:13 PM UTC After a top-secret meeting at Trump Tower earlier this month, Megyn Kelly has landed an in-depth interview with Donald Trump, according to the [New York _Post._](http://pagesix.com/2016/04/25/megyn-kelly-lands-big-interview-with-trump/) Trump and Kelly have had a testy relationship over the course of the campaign, after Kelly asked Trump about his comments about women during the first Republican debate. Since then, Trump has repeatedly tweeted insults about Kelly, suggested she had “blood coming out of her wherever,” and even [cancelled his appearance at a debate](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/16/donald-trump-will-skip-upcoming-fox-debate-for-major-speech-before-jewish-group/) Kelly was moderating in March. Kelly went to Trump Tower on April 13 for an in-person meeting with the GOP frontrunner, to “clear the air,” as she put it. Looks like we’ll be able to see their new dynamic when the interview airs on May 17. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4307172/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-interview/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4307172/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-interview/"},"headline":"Megyn Kelly Lands Interview With Donald Trump","datePublished":"2016-04-25T22:13:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T17:01:23.971Z","description":"In-depth interview will air May 17","url":"https://time.com/4307172/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-interview/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Fox","debate","Megyn Kelly"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbd6872432a978f87/698890a1e20a8709b7a9093d/gettyimages-519884512.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbd6872432a978f87/698890a1e20a8709b7a9093d/gettyimages-519884512.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Variety's Power Of Women: New York 2016","caption":"Variety's Power Of Women: New York 2016","creditText":"Paul Zimmerman—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4307172/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-interview/","name":"Megyn Kelly Lands Interview With Donald Trump"}}]}] ```
