The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Fox News Media said Maria Bartiromo left the network effective Thursday after more than 12 years, and Fox handed her Sunday program to a replacement. Her exit followed allegations that she shared internal Fox editorial guidance with White House trade adviser Peter Navarro after Trump’s July 16 election-integrity speech, including instructions not to promote Trump’s 2020-election claims. Navarro said Bartiromo passed him network mandates. Bartiromo has not publicly commented; her lawyer Bryan Freedman disputed firing reports, saying she is “still an employee at Fox,” as Trump supporters criticized the replacement.
