He has worked as a contributor on CNBC, Fox and Bloomberg TV, according to his LinkedIn page.
The announcement is also the first official word that Pellegrino was joining the network.
Prior to Newsmax, Pellegrino worked as a White House correspondent for One America News where, on one occasion, she was critical of Newsmax for censoring My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.
Her critiques came after Newsmax anchor Bob Sellers walked off the set as Lindell tried to repeat disproven claims of election fraud.

PHOENIX Senate Republican leaders are setting the stage for a new legal fight with Maricopa County.
Kory Langhofer, the attorney for the Senate, said he will be issuing subpoenas Monday for all five Maricopa County supervisors, demanding they appear to explain why they won t surrender certain equipment and information for review as part of the audit of the 2020 General Election returns.
Langhofer also said the Senate wants to hear from Scott Jarrett, the county s director of election day and emergency voting.
But that may just be part of it.
Prince Harry and Oprah Winfrey to debut mental health documentary with Glenn Close and Lady Gaga
Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry are following up their bombshell interview with a brand new streaming documentary.
Apple TV+ will debut The Me You Can t See, a multi-part documentary produced by Winfrey and Harry, on May 21, the streamer announced Monday. The two will guide honest discussions about mental health and emotional well-being while opening up about their mental health journeys and struggles, Apple said. The documentary is set to feature celebrity guest participants, including Lady Gaga and Glenn Close. The majority of us carry some form of unresolved trauma, loss or grief, which feels â and is â very personal, Harry said. Yet the last year has shown us that we are all in this together, and my hope is that this series will show there is power in vulnerability, connection in empathy, and strength in honesty.
Mitch McConnell raises ceiling for GOP s infrastructure compromise
May 10, 2021
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is showing signs that he s willing to compromise â at least a little bit â on President Biden s infrastructure proposal.
During an interview that aired Sunday on Kentucky Educational Television, McConnell said most Republican senators think the proper price tag for an infrastructure bill is somewhere between $600 billion and $800 billion. That s still nowhere near Biden s $2.3 trillion plan, which McConnell maintains isn t focused on actual infrastructure development, but it is higher than the known $568 billion counteroffer from a group of GOP senators sent to the White House last month. And just last week McConnell suggested the $600 billion was the ceiling, rather than the floor, CBS News notes. So while the two sides remain far apart, the debate is still alive.
