Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will be a guest of Republican nominee Donald Trump at tonight's debate, according to several reports out of Las Vegas, where debate preparations are underway.
The third and final presidential debate will begin at 5 p.m. Alaska Time. Chris Wallace, anchor of "Fox News Sunday," will moderate at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for confirmation or comment.
Palin will join President Barack Obama's half brother Malik Obama, who is a Kenyan-born American citizen and a Trump supporter, a former Arkansas reporter who said this week that she was sexually assaulted by President Bill Clinton in the 1980s, and a mother of a man who was killed in Benghazi, Libya.
So: Trump source tells me @SarahPalinUSA is an invited guest to tonight’s #debate.

Palin has been a Trump supporter since early in his campaign, and stumped for him during the Republican primary race.
The former vice presidential candidate's name came up most recently in emails leaked from John Podesta, now-chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Clinton referenced Palin during a 2015 interview for The New York Times Magazine, in a discussion about Clinton's time in Alaska in the summer of 1969, previously reported by The Hill.
"I've had moose stew," Clinton said, according to the interview transcript.
"So that's why I always got a big kick out of Sarah Palin with all of her, 'We're cooking up some moose stew here.' (Laughter.)," the transcript said.
Clinton's presidential campaign later asked journalist Mark Leibovich not to include the reference to Palin. "Fine to use the moose, but appreciate leaving the mention of Sarah Palin out," Clinton spokesperson Jennifer Palmieri wrote in July.
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has invited two billionaire supporters: Meg Whitman, Hewlett-Packard CEO and a former Republican candidate for governor of California, and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
