Fox News terminates Trey Gowdy as contributor amid reports he joined Trump's legal team

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy was fired as a Fox News contributor, a spokesperson for the network tells CNBC on Wednesday.

The spokesperson said Gowdy "has been terminated and is no longer a contributor" to Fox, where the South Carolina Republican had appeared just days before to discuss the ongoing impeachment inquiry in the House. As Trump reportedly beefs up his outside legal team, White House counsel Pat Cipollone sent a shot across the bow to Democrats leading the impeachment inquiry,

Gowdy did not seek reelection in the 2018 midterms, where Democrats took majority control of the House. He joined law firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, and had been a Fox contributor sinceIn a recent appearance on Fox, Gowdy had blasted House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who is a leader in the impeachment inquiry — and a prime target of Trump, who has repeatedly accused the committee chief of "treason.
