DOJ Scrutiny of Fox-Roku Deal Raises Questions Amid Trump-Bartiromo Rift

The U.S. Department of Justice has requested additional information regarding Fox Corp’s $22 billion acquisition of Roku, a move that both companies described as expected but which has raised concerns about potential political interference. Fox CEO John Nallen maintains the deal is on track to close in the first half of 2027, citing strong financial health and growth in streaming assets like Tubi and Fox One. However, the timing of the regulatory review coincides with President Trump’s public criticism of Fox News for ousting anchor Maria Bartiromo, leading analysts to speculate that the merger could face unexpected hurdles due to White House politics rather than standard antitrust concerns.

Fox News Parts Ways with Maria Bartiromo Amid Election Fraud Legal Risks

Fox News Media announced the departure of longtime host Maria Bartiromo on September 4, 2026, citing a 'business decision' without providing specific reasons. The move follows reports that Bartiromo shared internal network guidance with the White House, which instructed Fox to avoid covering President Trump's recent claims regarding the 2020 election. While Fox thanked her for 12.5 years of service, her attorney denied she was fired, claiming she remains an employee. The exit highlights tensions between Fox’s corporate legal interests and its alignment with the Trump administration, particularly given ongoing defamation lawsuits from voting machine companies.
