  "summary": "Maria Bartiromo's attorney, Bryan Freedman, is disputing reports that she was fired by Fox News Media. He stated that reports claiming she was let go or is no longer an employee of Fox are \"absolutely and unequivocally false.\"\n\nFreedman added that they have evidence and witnesses to support their claim, and that they will be made public through the courts or other means if necessary. He also criticized those who reported her firing, accusing them of showing a \"reckless disregard for the truth.\"\n\nAccording to Fox, Bartiromo's departure was a \"business decision.\" However, her attorney's statement suggests that there may be more to the story. Some reports had suggested that Bartiromo's exit was related to her disclosure of internal Fox guidance to the Trump White House.",
