Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has joined Fox News as a contributor, the latest former Trump administration official to join the network.
Pompeo will make his first appearance on Fox & Friends on Friday, the network said. He’ll contribute across all Fox News Media platforms.
In a statement, Pompeo said, “As a now former diplomat and member of Congress, and in this new role at Fox News Media, I intend to give viewers a candid, no-nonsense look at geopolitics, international relations and the America First policies that helped chart the course for unprecedented American prosperity and security.”
Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott called Pompeo “one of America’s most recognized and respected voices on foreign policy and national security issues.”
Pompeo joins other Trump veterans on the network, including former Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, now a regular on Outnumbered, and top economic adviser Larry Kudlow, who hosts a daily show for Fox Business. Lara Trump, the former president’s daughter in law who was a a senior consultant for the campaign and hosted a weekly in-house webcast, joined the network last month. Trump himself has given multiple phone interviews to Fox News personalities since leaving office, despite his occasional bashing of the network’s news coverage.
Pompeo served as Donald Trump’s secretary of state from 2018 through the end of his term. Before that, he was CIA director, and was elected to four terms in the House representing Kansas.
More to come.
