Fox News has announced its decision to part ways with contributor Trey Gowdy following his decision to join the Trump team in order to fight the Democrat’s impeachment quest.

According to The Hill:

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) is no longer a contributor for Fox News amid discussions on him joining President Trump’s legal team battling House Democrats in their impeachment inquiry.

“Trey Gowdy has been terminated and is no longer a contributor,” a Fox News spokesperson confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday.

…

Fox News reported during the network’s “Outnumbered” program Wednesday that Trump has hired Gowdy as outside counsel. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.

The 55-year-old is a former chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and led the House Benghazi Committee, where he grilled former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other Obama administration officials in October 2015 over what occurred in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya.

It remains unknown whether the termination came because of the apparent conflict of interest this creates.
