Fox News Anchor Bret Baier's Concerns Over Colleague's Election Fraud Claims Revealed in Newly-Released Text Messages

Fox News anchor Bret Baier raised concerns about colleague Maria Bartiromo's election fraud claims in 2020, urging the network to fact-check the information. Newly-released text messages revealed Baier's unease with Bartiromo's false assertions about the election results. Bartiromo, in turn, reportedly reached out to Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, encouraging them to challenge the election outcome and present evidence to overturn it. The text messages also showed former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro criticizing her colleague Sean Hannity for his behavior during a meeting with President Donald Trump. Pirro described Hannity as an "egomaniac" who acted arrogantly in the presence of the president.
