Navarro said Bartiromo forwarded internal Fox guidance to the White House after the network limited coverage of Trump’s election claims.
- On Tuesday, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro accused Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott of retaliating against anchor Maria Bartiromo after she shared an internal directive limiting coverage of President Donald Trump's July speech.
- Fox Business executive Ralph Giordano issued internal guidance in July prohibiting promotion of Trump's primetime address; Bartiromo forwarded the directive to the White House, prompting her removal from the air.
