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.
