Donald Trump Sounds Off on Maria Bartiromo’s Shock Exit From Fox News: Her ‘Many’ Fans ‘Will Not Be Happy’
President Donald Trump reacted to Fox News’ surprise announcement Thursday that it has parted ways with Maria Bartiromo, who had been an anchor on Fox News and Fox Business Network for more than 12 years. Fox News did not provide a reason for its dismissal of Bartiromo, a former prominent CNBC anchor who joined Fox […]
Maria Bartiromo, a prominent financial correspondent at Fox News, has denied reports that she was fired from the network. Her attorney, Bryan Freedman, released a statement disputing the claims, calling them "irresponsible" and "false." Bartiromo has been a top-rated host on Fox channels for over a decade, with three shows consistently ranking at the top.
She is set to conclude her current shows while her Sunday Morning Futures program will be temporarily taken over by Jason Chaffetz, with a permanent successor to be announced later. The reasons behind Bartiromo's departure remain unclear, but it is speculated that she wanted to pursue a story involving China and conspiracy theories related to the 2020 election, which Fox deemed sensitive due to its legal battles with Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic.
Fox News confirmed Bartiromo's exit, expressing gratitude for her 12 1/2 years of service and wishing her well.
