NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News, which has a longstanding policy of not employing anyone linked to an active campaign, ends employment of Lara Trump after her father-in-law, Donald Trump, launched his 2024 bid for White House. During his 2020 presidential campaign, Lara served as a senior consultant and surrogate.

The network confirmed on Saturday, December 2, that it has parted ways with Lara, the former president’s daughter-in-law. Lara became a paid contributor for the conservative-leaning network only a year ago. As reported by the Daily Mail, in the wake of Donald announcing his 2024 bid for the White House in November, it now rules Lara out from continuing to receive a paycheck from the news network. Moreover, she has effectively declared she'll be part of the latest Trump White House bid and has taken the decision to step down.
