Fox News Media has announced that Maria Bartiromo is no longer with the company. The network announced the longtime host's departure on Thursday, stating it was effective immediately, though no explanation was provided for the decision.
Reports claim that Bartiromo was let go for allegedly leaking an internal network directive about election coverage to the Trump administration, divulging the network's editorial guidance to the White House.
A lawyer representing Bartiromo has sharply denied these reports, stating that the anchor was not fired from the Fox Corp. channels where she worked for more than 12 years. The high-profile attorney claims Bartiromo is still employed by the network and has suggested potential legal action.
