Fox News Media announces Maria Bartiromo's departure after more than 12 years with the network.
Fox News Media announced on September 3, 2026 that Maria Bartiromo was no longer with the network after over 12 years, with her final episode of 'Mornings with Maria' airing that morning. Her shows were rebranded with rotating anchors, and Jason Chaffetz was named to host 'Sunday Morning Futures.' Reports from Status and Puck News alleged she was removed after leaking internal network guidance to the Trump White House that directed hosts not to follow Trump's 2020 election conspiracy theories.
