What to know

  • Maria Bartiromo was fired from Fox News and Fox Business on September 3 without explanation after 12+ years of service, including hosting Mornings with Maria and Sunday Morning Futures.
  • Her first public appearance since the firing came at Melania Trump's IMPERIA summit at the NYSE on September 23, where she helped launch an initiative for women business executives.
  • The reason for Bartiromo's abrupt departure remains unclear; reporting indicates it may be connected to Trump's July speech making unfounded election interference claims, but Fox has not confirmed this.

“The initiative will provide a forum and network for powerful women to do business together, move capital, influence policy, collaborate between sectors.”

    Bartiromo appears at Melania Trump's IMPERIA summit

    Nearly three weeks after her Fox firing, Bartiromo made her first public appearance at the New York Stock Exchange, where she helped kick off first lady Melania Trump's IMPERIA summit for women CEOs. Melania rang the opening bell alongside female executives and Fox Business anchor Liz Claman to launch the initiative, which aims to create a forum for powerful women to collaborate, move capital, and influence policy.

    “For generations, women fought for a seat at the table. The next chapter is about owning, growing and making space for the women who come next.”
