🚨UPDATE: Mizzou claims the individual who wore the bloody Freedom shirt to mock Charlie's murder, "is not a student at Mizzou," and has been trespassed from campus. The university says the "serious matter" has been referred to the FBI.

Maria Bartiromo’s Interim Replacement is Revealed Following Her Departure from Fox News

by Cullen Linebarger Sep. 29, 2026 10

Fox News has revealed the person who will take over for Maria Bartiromo following her sudden exit from the network, and MAGA fans will be quite happy.

The network announced on September 25 that Larry Kudlow would host Sunday Morning Futures (10-11 AM/ET), Bartiromo’s former program, through November 8. That is the Sunday after the midterm election.

After Kudlow’s interim hosting duties conclude, the network will name a permanent replacement.

Conservatives, especially Trump, are quite familiar with Kudlow.

Kudlow formerly served as the director of the National Economic Council and assistant to the president for economic policy during Trump’s first administration. This lasted from 2018 until 2021.

After Trump’s first term concluded, Kudlow joined Fox Business in 2021. He now hosts the eponymous show “Kudlow” at 4 PM ET on weekdays.

Kudlow was also formerly a senior contributor at CNBC, where he hosted several programs. These included a post-market analysis show called The Kudlow Report.

Fox News also notes that from 1981 to 1985, Kudlow worked as an associate director for economics and planning at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the Ronald Reagan administration.

In addition, Kudlow served as chief economist and senior managing director of the then-global investment bank, securities trading, and brokerage firm Bear Stearns.

Earlier this month, Bartiromo parted ways with Fox Newsafter leaking internal texts to the White House showing the network told staff to stop amplifying ‘election conspiracies’ Trump spread during his speech last month.

It was first reported that Maria Bartiromo was allegedly fired after Fox News nixed her election integrity segment.

But Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, disputed reports that she was fired or is no longer employed by Fox.

Freedman stated that those reports were “absolutely and unequivocally false” and claimed Bartiromo’s legal team possesses evidence and witnesses supporting its position.

Bartiromo later broke her silence with a cryptic statement on social media.

“Thank you to all friends & followers for your amazing words. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love. I love you all. Here’s a great shot of the 🌈 breaking through, I snapped the other day. More to come,” Bartiromo wrote on X.

BREAKING: Jack Smith COLLECTED Nearly 5,000 PERSONAL Checks From Americans Who Donated to Trump – SEIZED Records of Communication Between DOZENS of Journalists and Trump Officials. 1/2

Cullen Linebarger Sep. 29, 2026

Absolutely damning corruption by former Special Counsel Jack Smith has been revealed as he testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee today.

Fox News has exclusively revealed that Smith and his thugs acquired dozens of records containing sensitive communications between dozens of journalists and Trump Administration officials.

Among the outlets swept up in this crooked move by Smith are Fox News, The Federalist, The Washington Times, CNN, and CBS.

From Fox News:

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigators obtained records containing communications between nearly 50 journalists and Trump administration officials — including Fox News personnel — after subpoenaing text-message records associated with dozens of White House phones during the federal election investigation of President Donald Trump, Fox News Digital has learned ahead of Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

The communications appeared in records produced by the National Archives in response to a subpoena seeking material associated with 87 White House phones from Trump’s first administration, according to a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, citing whistleblower disclosures made to the chairman.

Fox News is among the organizations whose journalists appear in the records, along with CNN, CBS News — including its newsmagazine “60 Minutes” — NBC News and CNBC.

The records also include communications involving journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Bloomberg, Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine, Reuters, the Associated Press and NPR, as well as The Federalist and Washington Times.

But that’s not all. The Senate Judiciary Republicans have just revealed that Smith and his team collected nearly 5,000 personal checks from Americans who donated to President Trump and Trump-aligned groups.

The dates were between September 2019 and August 2023.

Per the Senate Judiciary Committee, Smith and his fellow persecutors acquired the checks as part of its “Arctic Frost” election case.

This allowed the Biden Department of Injustice and the FBI to gain access to nearly 5,000 Americans’ highly sensitive information from all 50 states. There also might be additional subpoena returns that include even more donor checks.

A furious Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) laid into Smith as he spoke about the revelations:

There’s no legitimate basis for what you did. Especially since your staff killed an investigation into the Clinton campaign.

Donations to Republican groups wasn’t necessary to your investigation, which is proved out by the fact it wasn’t mentioned in your public report.

Now, the Justice Department and FBI will forever possess thousands of people’s addresses, phone numbers, banks, bank account numbers, bank routing numbers and copies of their true signatures. Every member on this committee ought to be outraged for what happened to their constituents.

Which one of my Democratic colleagues will join me in that outrage?

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
