McEnany to join Fox News, financial disclosure report shows
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has an agreement in place to join Fox News this month, according to financial disclosure documents published Tuesday.
McEnany listed an "employment agreement with Fox News, starting work in January" on her termination report upon leaving the government. The report was obtained and published by watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The document does not specify what McEnany's role will be. Neither McEnany nor a Fox News spokesperson responded to requests for comment.
The former press secretary's new job marks the latest instance of a Trump administration official joining the network favored by conservatives, or vice versa.
One of McEnany's predecessors, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, took a role as a Fox contributor after leaving the White House in 2019. Senior Trump adviser Hope Hicks took a job at Fox Corporation upon leaving the White House in 2018, only to return to working for Trump later in his term.
Trump had also hired Bill Shine from Fox News to work as White House communications director ahead of the 2018 midterm elections. Former Trump administration officials John Bolton , Scott Atlas and others made frequent appearances on the network before joining the government.
McEnany previously worked as a contributor at CNN and as a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee before taking the press secretary job in the spring of 2020.
She was a fierce and unflinching advocate of the president in her taxpayer funded-role, defending him from the podium through his missteps in the coronavirus pandemic response, his forceful removal of peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square for a photo op and his efforts to sow doubt about the outcome of the 2020 election.
McEnany made frequent appearances on Fox News over the last two years, including several on prime-time opinion programming where she pushed unsubstantiated claims about widespread election fraud.
Trump himself had been at odds with Fox in the weeks before and after the election, regularly complaining that the outlet was not being sufficiently supportive of him.
