Fox News White House correspondent Kristin Fisher to leave network Tal Axelrod
Fox News White House correspondent Kristin Fisher announced Friday she is leaving the network.
Fisher, who has covered the White House since 2019, said on "Special Report" with Bret Baier that her appearance Friday marked "my last live shot on my last day at Fox News, and I've had an incredible run."
She did not clarify on air where she will be going next, but a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill that she will go to CNN to serve as a correspondent covering space.
"I started out 6 years ago on the early morning weekend shift. I made it all the way to the White House, which is something that has been at the very top of my career bucket list ever since I was a very little girl. But I've just realized that there are a few other things on that list that I would like to try to tick off," she said Friday on Fox.
She’s heading to CNN, per a source

ambassador rice or others, the constant misleading and denials of what actually happened and false statements about what did happen that is of concern because the american people deserve the truth on day one, not a evolving truth that goes on until, actually for as long as it takes for us to prove they didn't tell the truth the first time. rick: finally sir, you heard these reports about cia employees being intimidated, trying to get them to keep quiet about what they know about the benghazi attack. those reports from cnn. have your investigators been able to uncover anything on that? >> well, we are aware that there is a pattern of saying, you must coordinate with their bosses before talking to congress. of course that is not consistent with the law and it leads to a general belief that you shouldn't talk to congress and that happens to be obstruction. it is illegal under the statutes. rick: darrell issa is the chairman of the house committee on oversight and government reform, joining us live this morning from capitol hill.
the state department not giving us a whole lot of information, only saying that it's acting on the side of caution after undisclosed threats. >> the department p has been apprised of information that out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting our installations indicates we should institute these precautionary steps. rick: jack keane is a retired four-star general, fox news military analyst. jack keane, general keane, always good to talk to you. a pentagon official says there's been no movement of forces but that we always take the necessary becautions to respond to threats, so how are we defending our embassies? >> well, first of all, those embassies are primarily defended by host country, and where host countries cannot adequately defend them as in afghanistan and also in baghdad, we have serious security forces there that are protecting them. secondly, while we may not be mobilizing any forces in terms
they include the outposts in egypt, libya, afghanistan, iraq and israel. the state department says they're acting out of an abundance of caution but they won't specify who might behind that threat. coming up retired four-star general jack keane will join us to discuss the credibility of the threat, the government's decision to get ahead of it and what it may be doing now to protect those same embassies. and this fox news alert. a big thumb in the eye for the u.s. nsa leaker edward snowden free to roam russia. the country has granted him temporary asylum and that's a move that threatens to imperil a planned summit in russia next month between president obama and russia's vladmir putin. we welcome you now to another hour of "america's newsroom." i'm jamie colby in today for martha maccallum. rick: nice to be with you, jamie. i'm rick folbaum in for bill hemmer. we're seeing some of the first images of snowden in moskow after he was allowed it leave
well, get used to hearing about it, because congress is getting ready for its summer break. town halls will be held all across the country with both sides gearing up for protests, door to door campaigning and an avalanche of television and internet advertising. it's like campaign season all over again, and we are all over it. plus, a slew of studies out on health and diet. what we're learning about exercise. and the wooly mammoth, could it be brought back to life? cloning the distant past, coming up on "happening now." rick? rick: we'll be watching. jon scott, thanks very much. coming up next, nasa putting up a suggestion box asking for your ideas in dealing with asteroids. and now the space agency's getting bombarded with proposals. a lot of you have some very good ideas on what to do about these things, and we'll talk about it right after this. ♪ ♪
do, bring down costs and save everybody $2500 a year and put more people on the rolls and actually work when they launch exchanges i think people would think that's a good idea. you're correct about entitlements, when people sort of get into the system and hard to get off into the system. my concern is not politically, but for the fact that if the system is not working for people, we don't want it entrenched. we want to be able to change it. there is great question whether this will help people be healthier or get health care. rick: juan, you get the last word here. >> just one quick point here, rick is that people don't like the status quote and i don't see that the gop has come up with an alternative plan. certainly nothing that has been voted on. i think they have their 40 plus vote just recently before they went on recess to try to break apart obamacare and it is just not going anywhere. most americans in a recent "wall street journal" poll, look we may not like it, we don't know what is coming, we're unsure, scared, anxious, at this point, quit it. just move on.
spots in this entire report. 162,000 new jobs in the month of july. nowhere near good enough. nowhere near where it ought to be at this stage in a so-called recovery. >> how do we expect the markets to react this morning, stu? >> that's a tough one because a weak report might mean ben bernanke keeps on printing money. in which case the company goes up. nowhere signals we're nowhere out of the woods on recession. so the market could go down. i'm not calling it, rick. we're looking at indicators and looking at flat open. rick: stu varney, "varney & company" on fbn. good to see you. >> you too, rick. jaime: this new report showing more and more young adults are choosing to ride out tough times with dear old mom and dad. 21.6 million folks only 11 to 31 lived at home that is up from 18 1/2 million just before the recession. that is the highest share in the
