  "account": "Former Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo parted ways with the network on Tuesday. Allegations of a scandal involving Citigroup resurfaced, though they have never been proven. According to reports, Citigroup CFO Todd S. Thomson allegedly had a relationship with Bartiromo in 2006, which transcended professional boundaries. Thomson was reportedly asked to curb contact with Bartiromo months before the Asia trip in the fall of 2006, as the use of corporate resources was a concern. Bartiromo, who is married to Jonathan Steinberg, had never publicly commented on the matter but privately assured friends and colleagues that her actions were \"completely proper and CNBC business.\" Despite the allegations resurfacing, many have remembered Bartiromo fondly for her journalistic integrity and professionalism.",
