Maria Bartiromo: Was Fox Business host fired over leaking internal texts to White House? Explosive backstory emerges

On August 8, Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo was fired from the network. Speculation quickly arose that she may join the Trump administration, given her past support for the former president. However, a recent investigation has revealed a more complex backstory. According to sources, Maria Bartiromo allegedly leaked internal texts from Fox Network to the White House.

These texts reportedly contained instructions about not amplifying Trump's election claims during his July 16 prime-time address. The texts were part of the SAVE America Act discussions, which posed a sensitive issue for Fox due to ongoing lawsuits. Bartiromo reportedly shared the screenshot of the message with the White House, leading to her removal from air on August 8.

Despite her strong support for Trump during her 12.5 years at Fox, insiders confirm that she is not being considered to replace Karoline Leavitt as the White House press secretary.
