Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has officially parted ways with Fox News (FNC).
The cable news network reached a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in a high-stakes defamation case on Tuesday.
In a statement, FNC said, “We thank Dan for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavors.”
Mediate has more on the announcement:
Bongino, the host of Unfiltered and Fox Nation’s Canceled in the USA, left the network after contract negotiations fell apart, he said Thursday. The network confirmed the departure in a statement to Forbes, which first reported the news, saying “We thank Dan for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavors.”
Bongino confirmed his departure from the network on his latest podcast, telling his audience that “regretfully, last week was my last show on Fox News Channel.”
“The show ending last week was tough. It’s not some big conspiracy theory, I promise you. There’s no acrimony…We just couldn’t come to terms on an extension. That’s really it,” Bongino said. “I really enjoyed myself there. They were good for me for ten years…It’s a sad day. They did give me the opportunity to do one last show, I don’t want you to think they showed me the door. That’s one me not on them, but I thought it was best to go this way for now.”
Fox News host Lawrence Jones will cover for Bongino this weekend, and the network will announce a permanent replacement in the coming weeks.

This is terrible news! He is one of my favorites on Fox News. Can’t negotiations be reopened??
A great loss for Fox. I guess it is time to watch reruns on utube.
I am sure NewsMax will have the opportunity to pick Bongino up.
