Fox News has FIRED Maria Bartiromo. She was fired after allegedly leaking internal Fox News instructions to the Trump White House telling hosts not to amplify Trump’s unsupported 2020 election conspiracy claims.

Fox News Media’s departure announcement was reported by The Guardian, NPR, and the Los Angeles Times, but those accounts say the network gave no public reason.

Several later reports attributed the alleged explanation to the media newsletter Status, saying Bartiromo shared confidential Fox guidance with the Trump White House about coverage of unsupported 2020 election claims.

No provided source reproduces the alleged internal communications or offers a public confirmation from Fox, Bartiromo, the White House, or an independently identified source.

The underlying lawsuit-related communications discussed by The Guardian show Bartiromo’s openness to 2020 election-fraud theories, but they do not by themselves prove that she leaked instructions or that the alleged leak caused her departure.
