Trump Announces Fox Business Commentator Lou Dobbs Has Died at 78
Longtime conservative political commentator and Fox News host Lou Dobbs has died, former president Donald Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social.
“The Great Lou Dobbs has just passed away—A friend, and truly incredible Journalist, Reporter, and Talent,” Trump wrote. “He understood the World, and what was “happening,” better than others. Lou was unique in so many ways, and loved our Country. Our warmest condolences to his wonderful wife, Debi, and family. He will be greatly missed!”

Dobbs was a prominent supporter of Trump’s conservative policies and his “unofficial policy whisperer,” while he served in the White House with unbridled access to the former president in ways most journalists couldn’t fathom.
Fox News parted with the host in 2021, 24 hours after Dobbs and the broadcasting company were named in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit for peddling false claims about the 2020 presidential election.
