Fox News Reporter Under Fire For ‘Biased’ Reporting On Trump-Putin Summit

Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich is facing intense criticism on social media for displaying “biased” coverage of President Donald Trump’s high stakes with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska.

The controversy stems from Heinrich’s initial reaction to the summit, which she described as “not good” and suggested that Trump was overpowered by his Russian counterpart.

“It was just very unusual, atypical, and I think we’re all awaiting the readout because the way that it felt in the room was not good,” the Fox News White House correspondent claimed. It did not seem like things went well and it seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say.”

Trump supporters were quick to point out that Heinrich is engaged to U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), one of the biggest Ukraine hawks in congress who became one of the first U.S. lawmakers to visit the beleaguered nation after Russia invaded wider Ukraine in 2022. Most recently, he became one of two House Republicans to vote against the Trump-backed Big Beautiful Bill, with reports suggesting he did so in protest of proposed cuts to Ukraine funding.

“Jacqui Heinrich is on Fox trying to convince everyone Trump LOST against Putin today,” conservative journalist Nick Sortor posted on X. “REMINDER: Heinrich is engaged to ‘Republican’ Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, who voted AGAINST Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill because it didn’t give BILLIONS of dollars to Ukraine. Keep that in mind.”

“Jacqui Heinrich on Fox was so negative you’d think we gave Alaska back to Russia,” said pro-Trump political commentator Shawn Farash. “But at least Brian Fitzpatrick will be happy with her when she gets home!”

Heinrich has trashed Trump for his handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on numerous occasions, including one instance in which she suggested the president was being “played” by Vladimir Putin. “I watched Jacqui Heinrich from Fox over the weekend and I thought she was absolutely terrible,” Trump posted on Truth Social in response to the suggestion back in March.

“She should be working for CNN, not Fox,” the president added. “Not surprisingly, I later found out that she’s a fan of the White House Correspondents Association!”

In addition to his criticisms of Heinrich, President Trump is currently in the process of suing Fox News parent company News Corporation and its founder, Rupert Murdoch, after the Wall Street Journal published a bizarre story claiming that Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein a lewd letter for his birthday in the early 2000’s. Trump has described the letter as “fake” and defamatory and has filed a lawsuit.
