Maria Bartiromo departure from Fox News Media

Overview

Maria Bartiromo has departed Fox News Media and Fox Business Network after more than 12 years. While the network issued a statement thanking her for her work and noting she is ‘no longer with the organization’—characterizing the exit as a ‘business decision’—reports suggest the departure was linked to allegations regarding internal editorial guidance.

Specifically, reports indicate Bartiromo may have shared internal communications with White House officials. These communications reportedly involved instructions from Fox Business programming executives to avoid amplifying certain claims made by President Donald Trump regarding the 2020 election and China. White House official Peter Navarro characterized the network’s directive as ‘censoring’ a major address. It has been reported that sharing a screenshot of these internal communications may have violated her employment agreement regarding confidential information.

Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, has denied she was fired, calling such reports ‘absolutely and unequivocally false’. Subsequent reports indicate Fox News has terminated her from ‘Sunday Morning Futures’, with Jason Chaffetz named as her replacement. While she is no longer on the air, she reportedly remains under contract until 2029.

The departure has sparked political tension. Peter Navarro criticized Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott on Newsmax, accusing the network of not being ‘friendly to MAGA’. Following her departure, Bartiromo addressed her supporters on social media, expressing gratitude and stating that there is ‘more to come’. Meanwhile, Donald Trump praised Bartiromo on Truth Social, calling her a ‘true warrior’.
