NEW: Maria Bartiromo Seen At White House Amid Press Secretary Rumors
Maria Bartiromo was spotted at the White House just weeks after her Fox News exit, according to radio host Sid Rosenberg, who said he crossed paths with the longtime anchor Thursday.
Rosenberg described the sighting on 77 WABC Radio on Friday, saying Bartiromo emerged from an office as he wrapped up a meeting with Vice President JD Vance.
“I exit and I go into a different room, which is situated in between JD Vance’s office and President Trump’s Oval Office,” Rosenberg said. “Beautiful room. Mind you, Maria Bartiromo walked out when I was there.”
The encounter offered no answers about what brought Bartiromo to the White House. Rosenberg said they did not speak and that she never noticed him.
Fox News announced its split with Bartiromo in early September. President Donald Trump defended the veteran broadcaster later that day, calling her a “true warrior” and predicting her fans would be unhappy with her ouster.

Bartiromo, who has interviewed Trump numerous times, thanked her supporters on social media a week later.
Rosenberg’s own visit followed a public clash with Vance over Israel and antisemitism. Earlier this month, the New York host accused the vice president of being “not strong enough on Israel” and called him “silly” for blaming “a lot of the anti-Semitism in our country” on immigration.

But after nearly half an hour with Vance and several others in the vice president’s office, Rosenberg had a warmer assessment.
He described Vance as “charming” and “likable,” saying he texted Donald Trump Jr. afterward to tell him how much he liked the vice president.
Rosenberg also said the feeling was mutual, telling listeners that Vance had been charmed by him.
