What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Trump’s claim about Abdul El-Sayed and note El-Sayed’s denial. Newsweek frames the item as an assessment of Trump’s accusation, while Fox News foregrounds the “tough questions” angle and adds, in its extract only, Brian Kilmeade’s commentary plus mention of El-Sayed campaigning with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
