“Fox News Channel has mutually agreed to suspend its contributor agreement with Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich effective immediately,” said a statement from Jay Wallace, the network’s executive vice president of news. “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.”
CNN reported earlier this week Gingrich has been “actively lobbying” to be presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s running mate. Gingrich told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren last week he was being vetted for the position.
