Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and Fox News have ended their contributor agreement, according to a statement released by Fox News.
“Fox News Channel has mutually agreed to suspend its contributor agreement with Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich effective immediately. Due to the intense media speculation about Gingrich’s potential selection as Donald Trump’s vice presidential candidate, we felt it best to halt his contributor role on the network to avoid all conflicts of interest that may arise.”
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is expected to announce his Vice Presidential pick this week.
