Recently fired Fox News producer Abby Grossberg has revealed more behind-the-scenes details of her tenure at the network, saying her boss once told her after the 2020 presidential election that fact-checking at the network had been curbed and that show host Maria Bartiromo could “go wild.”

Grossberg, in an interview with NBC News that was to air Thursday night on “Nightly News With Lester Holt,” said her boss’ text message was part of an effort at Fox News that suddenly threw “caution to the wind.”

“There was no one to be found,” said Grossberg, who is suing Fox News, alleging she was set up to take undue blame in the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against the network.
