The former South Carolina lawmaker's ousting came a day after it was widely reported that the White House tapped Gowdy to join its legal defense team to help President Donald Trump combat the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

Fox News has terminated former Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, who since January had been a paid contributor for the network, a spokesperson for the media outlet confirmed toNo reason was provided, but the announcement of Gowdy's ousting came a day after it was widely reported that the White House tapped the former South Carolina lawmaker to join its legal defense team to help President Donald Trump combat the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

Gowdy, a Republican, has been a frequent target of Trump's ire over his comments about Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, and his handling of a congressional investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. However, Gowdy will work with the president and his allies—who once frequently bashed him—to help fend off impeachment proceedings.

"I hope @TGowdySC does better for Rubio than he did at the #Benghazi hearings, which were a total disaster for Republicans & America!" Trump

Wow, he is jumping from one dumpster to another. dumpsterdiving

HE HAD TO TELL THEM THEY ARE ALL SCREWED ..THAT'S WHY THEY REJECTED HIM. LOL

Weird. Normally FoxNews would have hired him because he joined trump’s legal team. The times, they are a changing.

Do they hired the extra from the movie 'Deliverance'. Sounds about right.

Sweet baby Jesus. Not this dude again.

Wow. Can we actually say good for Fox News? Hopefully, Gowdy will also go down with the ship.

Trey Gowdy? You mean I've been watching Trey Gowdy? I thought Tilda Swinton had become a far right pundit and an unbearable human being.

Terminates his employment or actually terminates him? Seems harsh.

How would anyone tell?
