The reports suggest that Fox executives instructed staff to refrain from reporting on claims made by President Trump linking China to election interference in 2020, a message Bartiromo reportedly shared with the White House. Her departure, which occurred around August 9, 2026, followed her attempts to pursue stories related to China and election conspiracies, which where reportedly restricted by Fox due to legal concerns. Fox stated her exit was a business decision.This incident is part of a broader controversy involving Fox\u2019s coverage of election interference claims, which led to lawsuits from Dominion and Smartmatic, with some settlements already reached. Bartiromo has not publicly commented on her departure.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>New reports say former Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo leaked internal Fox News communications to the White House, prompting Fox to oust her.<\/p>\n<p>A report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.status.news\/p\/maria-bartiromo-fox-news-announcement-departure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Status<\/a> said that Fox executives issued a memo telling its staff to avoid reporting on claims made by President Donald Trump in a July speech that linked China to alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>The report said Bartiromo leaked the order to the White House, and Status reported that the action violated her contract.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I watched Maria Bartiromo every morning before heading to work, it was a ritual with my morning cup of coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Fox messed up big time. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FmUfhpJlec\">https:\/\/t.co\/FmUfhpJlec<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 True Patriot Voice (@TruePatriotVox) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TruePatriotVox\/status\/2095862630414213197?\">September 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/09\/03\/media\/maria-bartiromo-and-fox-part-ways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> reported similarly, saying Fox decided to oust Bartiromo in August.<\/p>\n<p>Bartiromo last appeared on the Fox Business shows she hosted on Aug. 9, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/tv\/2026\/09\/03\/maria-bartiromo-abruptly-leaves-fox-what-we-know\/91599711007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>CNN, citing a source it did not name, reported that Bartiromo was axed because she sent company information to the White House.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DylanByers\/status\/2095632406292386184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Puck<\/a> reported that Bartiromo wanted to discuss Trump\u2019s allegations of election interference and China.
