CNN Senior Political Analyst Kirsten Powers has announced she has left the network.
Powers joined CNN just before the 2016 presidential election after more than a decade at Fox News. After she left Fox News, Powers accused the network of failing to act after she filed a complaint against network star Bill O’Reilly, who eventually departed the network over sexual misconduct allegations.
Additionally, she was previously a columnist for USA Today, The Daily Beast, and The New York Post, among other outlets.
“After 7 years, CNN and I have parted ways,” Powers wrote in a post to Instagram. “I brought my most authentic self to the table and did my best to serve the viewers and try and make sense of our increasingly out of control political world.”
The news that Powers would exit the company comes at the same time that CNN has added former Biden White House communications director Kate Bedingfield in a similar role.
