Former Trump spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany joining Fox News

Fox News announced Tuesday that Kayleigh McEnany, former President Trump’s spokeswoman, is joining Fox News as a contributor.

“Faulkner Focus” host Harris Faulkner teased the announcement while introducing McEnany as a guest on her 11 a.m. show.

“And it is my distinct pleasure today to welcome Kayleigh McEnany to the Fox family,” Faulkner said. “We will be seeing much more of her in the future.”

In late January, McEnany stated she had an “employment agreement with Fox News, starting work in January” in a report published by watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

At the time, a Fox News spokesperson said McEnany was “not currently an employee or contributor” at the network.

Though other former Trump officials have become Fox News contributors after the demise of the administration, this is not McEnany’s first foray into cable news. She had been a contributor at CNN, and was also previously Republican National Committee spokeswoman, prior to signing on as Trump’s press secretary in the spring of 2020.
