Shepard Smith, one of Fox News’ leading anchors and a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, will step down from the network, effective immediately, the network announced Friday.
Smith, Fox’s chief news anchor and anchor of its afternoon news program, “Shepard Smith Reporting,” said the decision to leave was his own, but gave no further reason for doing so. He announced his resignation on the air on his Friday program, which Fox said would be his last.
