In what could be the strangest development yet in Donald Trump's months-long feud with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, the cable TV host was reportedly spotted walking into Trump Tower "incognito" Wednesday.

Neither Fox News nor the Trump campaign would confirm the reported sighting, which was first tweeted out by MSNBC reporters Beth Fouhy, Ari Melber and Ayman Mohyeldin. Kelly was then escorted upstairs by a member of Trump's team, according to their reports.

Per @AymanM, Megyn Kelly just entered the Trump tower incognito, met by member of his team who took her upstairs.

As CNN's senior media correspondent Brian Stelter pointed out, the reported one-on-one meeting raises questions as to whether Kelly might have landed an interview with the Republican front-runner, who has frequently attacked her dating back to the Fox News Republican presidential primary debate in August.

Kelly was recently tapped to host a new, Barbara Walters-style primetime special on the Fox broadcast network to begin in May. The show is expected to feature interviews with high profile guests, possibly Trump himself.

In an interview as recent as last week, though, Kelly said she had not formally requested to meet with Trump, CNN reported.
