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

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy was fired as a Fox News contributor, a spokesperson for the network told CNBC on Wednesday, amid reports that he was tapped to join President Donald Trump's outside counsel as the White House suits up for an impeachment fight with Congress.

Multiple outlets, including Fox, reported this week that Gowdy was hired to serve as outside counsel to Trump. The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request to confirm that Gowdy was hired as Trump's outside counsel. Gowdy did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Gowdy, 55, had served as the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the head of the House Benghazi Committee, which investigated a terrorist attack in Libya that left four Americans dead, including the country's U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens.

Why does the article I read say Fox Fired Trey Gowdy. I’m pretty sure he resigned .. constantly lies

If you watch any of the other media outlets, they have no trouble with biased contributors.

Impeach Donald J Trump plain and simple.

I’m all for this, but am shocked. FOX News personalities are essentially Trump’s side-Cabinet, 1/2 his legal team appears on the channel, & it’s served as a state TV propaganda-spewer for years. Why the sudden concern of impropriety/conflict of interest?

Look out when joining a sinking ship. The captain always goes down with his ship, I doubt Trump will stay on board his vessel!

'representing the president would pose a conflict of interest at Fox'? No. Having principles would be a conflict of interest.

What? Will the sun continue to rise after this?

Very good move by Trump. Goody excellent choice, he will be missed as a Fox contributor.

This confuses me...

Isn't half the Fox Newsroom part of Trump's legal team?

Makes sense. Gowdy wants a closer sniff of Trump’s backside.
