Maria Bartiromo, a Fox News presenter and long-time Trump ally, leaves the network after about 12 years, according to reports across multiple outlets. Her departure is described as sudden and prompted immediate public reaction from President Donald Trump.
In a message posted to Truth Social, Trump calls Bartiromo a “true warrior” and says her fans “will not be happy,” adding “God bless you, Maria.” The reports frame the comments as praise while acknowledging the potential backlash among her audience.
The outlets differ on the underlying reason for the exit. The Independent reports that Bartiromo’s departure follows allegations that she leaked information to the White House. Other coverage focuses primarily on Trump’s reaction and does not emphasize the reported leak claim in the same way. Overall, all accounts agree on the key event: Bartiromo’s departure from Fox News and Trump’s public praise.
