NEW YORK โ€” Fox News says host Kimberly Guilfoyle has left the network, amid reports that sheโ€™s about to take on a new role with a super PAC supporting President Donald Trumpโ€™s agenda.
A Fox spokeswoman confirmed her departure Friday. Guilfoyle has been one of the co-hosts of the networkโ€™s afternoon show โ€œThe Fiveโ€ and has been dating Trumpโ€™s son Donald Jr. She was considered for White House press secretary last year after Sean Spicer departed the administration.
A person familiar with the plans who was not authorized to speak publicly about them said Guilfoyle will be joining America First PAC, which has been promoting Trumpโ€™s record.
Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor, was married for four years to California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Reports Say Guilfoyle Forced Out

CNN reported that Guilfoyle put Fox News in an ethical dilemma earlier this year when she started dating Donald Trump Jr., President Trumpโ€™s son. As a co-host of โ€œThe Five,โ€ Guilfoyle was regularly involved in on-air discussions about Trump, putting her in a spot where conflicts of interest issues arose on a near-daily basis. Guilfoyleโ€™s last appearance on โ€œThe Fiveโ€ was last Tuesday.
The network issued a short response about Guilfoyleโ€™s departure: โ€œFox News has parted ways with Kimberly Guilfoyle.โ€
In addition, Howard Kurtz, who covers the media industry for Fox News, tweeted this:
