Fox News rejected reporting that the network suspended Jeanine Pirro over a feud regarding coverage of President Trump.
“Sources close to the network tell Newsmax, because she made a very staunch defense of President Trump and wanted to expose the vote fraud that took place in the election, Fox News decided not to air her show. It had extended coverage of Democrat Joe Biden’s acceptance speech of a contested election,” Newsmax reported Saturday evening.
“The sources gave no inclination of whether the network is going to keep the show going, but we hear she was suspended at least for this weekend,” the report continued.
Fox News told the Washington Examiner that the report is false.
“The network ran election coverage last night and Jeanine Pirro will be back next week along with regularly scheduled programming,” a Fox News spokeswoman said.
Pirro has been an outspoken supporter of Trump and has called for fellow Republicans to support the president in his legal fights to recount ballots and investigate potential voter fraud.
“Time to stand up for our constitution our president and our way of life #PromisesMadePromisesKept #OurVoteIsPower,” she tweeted Thursday in response to a tweet from Eric Trump asking where Republicans are to fight against voter fraud.

Media outlets claimed Joe Biden as the victor of the 2020 presidential election, which the president pushed back on as Biden “has not been certified as the winner of any states.”
“Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor,” Trump said in a written statement Saturday after the calls that Biden won. “In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.”
