People willing to come forward with important information deserve to be heard. Americans deserve transparency, honest journalism, and the full truth

[Svetlana Lokhova @RealSLokhova]

October 27, 2019

I flew to NYC at my own expense to give very important testimony to the American people on Maria Bartiromo’s show. I stayed in a hotel near the studio, again at my own expense. This was during the Special Counsel Durham investigation, which I assisted.

I am an eyewitness to the Grand Conspiracy against President Trump, which started in 2015, directed by Obama and implemented by the CIA, MI6, the FBI, and the media.

I spoke to Maria and her producers for weeks in advance to make sure they understood the importance of the story. I was not paid a cent for all the hours I spent on this. It was really important that a major network finally told the truth to the American people.

On the morning of the interview, I was driven by a car arranged by Fox. I had hair and makeup done. The interview was recorded.

Then someone in the Fox leadership ordered that my interview not be aired. After the public outcry, Maria even retweeted the demand for it to be shown. A one-minute extract was then shown weeks later behind the Fox Nation paywall.

The full interview was never aired. Someone blocked it. The presidential election was one year away.

Maria earned the trust of millions by asking tough questions others avoided. Viewers deserve transparency about why such a respected journalist was let go

[Right Wing Tool @RightWingTool]

Let’s get you caught up on why Fox fired Maria Bartiromo.

This is what I know so far.

Fox News Media announced on September 3, 2026 that Maria Bartiromo is no longer employed there after 12 and a half years.

The company issued a short thank-you statement and later described the split as a business decision.

She had not been on air since August 9.

The reported trigger was a July 2026 primetime speech by President Trump alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, including compromised voting machines and related schemes.

Fox executives then sent internal guidance, described as a text to senior staff, directing them not to give credence to those claims.

The network was already wary because of the 787.5 million dollar Dominion settlement and the still-pending Smartmatic lawsuit.
Bartiromo wanted to pursue the story.

When White House officials asked why Fox was not covering it, she disclosed that her bosses had blocked the coverage and shared the internal text with them.

Fox learned of the disclosure, viewed it as a breach of confidential company information and her employment contract, and moved to end her tenure.

Her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also let go. Bartiromo has retained attorney Bryan Freedman.

Her weekday morning program was immediately rebranded Mornings with Fox Business using rotating anchors.

The Friday Wall Street show and Sunday Morning Futures also received new or fill-in hosts. Bartiromo has not issued a public comment.

Before Fox, Maria spent about 20 years at CNBC, from 1993 until late 2013.

She joined Fox Business and Fox News in early 2014.

At CNBC she became the first television journalist to report live on a regular basis from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

She hosted Closing Bell and On the Money with Maria Bartiromo, and also contributed to Squawk Box and other market programs.

She earned the nickname Money Honey during that period.

Before CNBC she worked five years at CNN Business News as a producer, writer, and assignment editor, starting in the late 1980s after graduating from New York University.

She left CNN when a promotion would have moved her off-camera into the control room; she put together an audition tape and moved to CNBC to get on air.

If I find out any more I’ll post it.

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

She won't lie for them anymore and you still watch it

[True Patriot Voice @TruePatriotVox]

🚨First morning without Maria.

They kept the colors.

They kept the set.

They even kept the same type treatment. They just scraped her name off the graphic and called it Mornings with FOX Business.

That’s the tell.

After more than 20 years of watching her — first on CNBC, then every weekday on Fox Business — the slot that used to be Mornings with Maria is now a generic network brand with rotating anchors.

No goodbye.

No last show with her in the chair.

Just a press release thanking her for 12½ years and wishing her well on the next chapter.

Maria didn’t treat the morning as a political talk show. She treated it as business. When she went after Democratic corruption it was usually because the corruption was costing companies, markets, or taxpayers real money — not because a producer handed her a talking point. That’s why a lot of people who don’t watch cable news still trusted her on markets.

The timing is also interesting.

Two days before the announcement, hundreds of thousands of X accounts were targeted in a password-recovery attack.

Financial firms and executives have been in the crosshairs of similar campaigns for months.

Whether those two things are connected or just the usual background noise of 2026, the morning show that used to dig into that kind of story is now running without the person who built it.

Fox kept the colors and the time slot. They didn’t keep the reason a lot of us tuned in.

Fox is done for me.

I’m gone.

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

@ConstitustionX This isn't the first time Fox has squashed real news for political reasons. That fair and balanced thing is a joke!

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

Really. Why would she want that position. Not much fun having to correct the lying press pool from the leftist networks.

[TV News Now @TVNewsNow]

With Maria Bartiromo leaving Fox News and Fox Business today, there’s fresh rumors she’s becoming President Trump’s next White House Press Secretary

[Salty Texan @texan_maga]

Maria Bartiromo has been fired from Fox News after she was about to report on China's involvement in the 2020 stolen election. She was working with the White House to prepare this story. Maria has hired a high profile attorney. This is a developing story, but I would like to point out that the White House never went through Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters or Sean Hannity to get this story out. They only went through Maria because she is the only journalist who will risk it all for America and President Trump. She has always been a MAGA patriot.

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

@texan_maga Patriots unite!!!

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

I hope she's off to something bigger and better.

[Mitch Roschelle @Mitch_Roschelle]

For a decade I have had the honor of sitting along side @MariaBartiromo on @FoxBusiness - she is the most prepared broadcaster out there and one of the kindest people I have ever met. Like her entire career I am certain her next chapter will equally iconic.

[J @JayTC53]

WOW 🚨 It's being reported that Maria Bartiromo was FIRED for wanting to cover President Trump's declassification of China's 2020 election interference.

"Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.

A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air."

If this is true, then Fox News is trying to cover for the Chinese communist party hacking and interfering with our elections.

Everything that President Trump discussed in the speech is declassified information from the CIA, NSA, and FBI.

So there would be no lawsuit that fox would have to be worry about because the information is declassified information.

So essentially, Fox News is covering for the Chinese communist party stealing, rigging, and hacking our elections.

[Mike @Ranger79452268]

Everyone did her show. Repubs & Dems. Respectful but Tough. No one talks bad about her. Class Act & Patriot 🇺🇸

[Kelly Loeffler @KLoeffler]

.@MariaBartiromo is a legend in business journalism, covering the nation’s top leaders from Wall Street to Main Street to Washington.

I value our conversations over the years about the economy and the issues facing our nation.

Most of all, I respect and admire her as a trailblazer and patriot.

[Shaggy @MAGAShagster]

I just don’t see Maria Bartiromo taking the job of White House press secretary and dealing with a bunch of idiots asking stupid questions

[Breanna Morello @BreannaMorello]

🚨UPDATE🚨

Maria Bartiromo’s attorney Bryan Freedman has provided me with full comment, “For many years, Maria Bartiromo hosted three number one rated television shows on Fox channels. She has been, without question,  one of the hardest working journalists throughout her award winning career. 
The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false. Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise. Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth.”

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨 President Trump just said what a lot of us are thinking.

Maria Bartiromo ran three shows that stayed number one, and she did it as a total professional and a true warrior.

Fox is taking a real loss here, and her fans are not going to be happy about it.

God bless you, Maria. 🇺🇸

[𝐂𝐂 @ChatByCC]

If the rumors are true about Maria Bartiromo’s departure from Fox.

MARIA is a whistleblower and a hero. Thank you. @MariaBartiromo

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

Maria consistently asked the questions others were afraid to ask. Independent, fearless journalism will always matter

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Raise your hand if you’ll miss watching @MariaBartiromo on Fox News.

I certainly will.

She can always be counted on to offer insights on important issues that others ignore.

[Selena🍀 @Selena1ong]

Maria brought professionalism, courage, and integrity to journalism for years. Wishing her nothing but success in her next chapter

[God & Country @GodandCountryy]

Thank you Maria Bartiromo for doing a fantastic job at Fox for over a decade.

[Mehek Cooke🇺🇸 @MehekCooke]

Personal: @MariaBartiromo didn’t just bring me on set, she gave me a seat.

She trusted me on elections, law and politics, but I’ll treasure most our off-camera talks about family, country and President Trump.

A mentor, friend and early believer in me. Thank you, Maria.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨Maria Bartiromo is leaving Fox News.

12 and a half years. Mornings. Markets. Breaking the stories corporate media tried to bury.

Fox’s statement: “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12.5 years and wish her all the best.”

One of the few voices who actually treated business news like it mattered and didn’t flinch when the story got political.
