Fox Business Host Maria Bartiromo Fired Amid Leak Allegations, White House Role Denied
Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo was abruptly fired on August 8 after allegedly leaking internal texts to the White House.

Speculation about her joining the Trump administration, particularly as White House Press Secretary, has been denied by insiders and correspondents. Fox issued a brief statement thanking her for 12.5 years of work without detailing reasons for her departure.
