Maria Bartiromo Denies Firing Rumors: Lawyer Issues Statement Clarifying Status at Fox News
Maria Bartiromo has recently denied rumors of being fired by Fox News, with her lawyer issuing a statement refuting the claims. Despite her departure from the network, Bartiromo's lawyer emphasized that reports of her firing are false and that she remains an employee of Fox News. Bartiromo's last day on air hosting Fox Business Network's Mornings With Maria was on August 7. Following her exit, the show was renamed Mornings With Fox Business and will feature rotating anchors in her absence. Bartiromo, a seasoned business news journalist who previously worked at CNBC, was accused of leaking an internal document to the White House, leading to her departure from Fox News. The network has faced legal challenges, including a defamation lawsuit from Dominion over claims made by anchors like Bartiromo.
