Shepard Smith’s departure from Fox News seemed to be a shock for all. His tenure of many years came to a halt after a personal decision. Many claim that President Trump had a hand in his leaving, but I don’t see that to be the cause since Smiths own lawyer also disagreed with that notion. Overall, Smith is happy to be spending time with his family and looks forward to the time when he can practice his craft in the distance future; due to a non-compete clause in his 2018 contract with Fox News.
