Kari Lake is not in active negotiations to join Newsmax, as left-leaning Mediaite reported on earlier.
After this fake news story broke out, both Kari Lake and Newsmax were shocked, with Kari Lake saying she told Mediaite beforehand that these rumors were false.
Speaking to The Gateway Pundit, Kari Lake said of the Mediaite report, “I told them it was false, and so did Newsmax. But this propagandist ran with the story anyway. Nothing, absolutely nothing in that story is true.”
Take a look:
Both Newsmax & Kari Lake confirmed there was zero truth to this story, but the Fake News still ran with the Fake Story… 🤦♂️🙄

The Gateway Pundit has the exclusive scoop:
Far-left Mediaite reported on Tuesday that Kari Lake is making a return to her decades-long career in broadcast journalism, citing a seemingly anti-Lake “Trump insider,” despite Lake and NewsMax confirming that the claims are untrue.
Lake vehemently denied the report, telling The Gateway Pundit, “I told them it was false, and so did Newsmax. But this propagandist ran with the story anyway. Nothing, absolutely nothing in that story is true.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe Gateway Pundit has reported on concerning leaks from within the Trump Transition Team, seeking to discredit Trump’s appointees, such as Pete Hegseth.
It appears some nefarious RINO individual or individuals are now targeting Kari Lake with lies and smearing her in hopes of ending her massive influence in the GOP and MAGA movement. The source reportedly claims that Trump “doesn’t like to hire people who lose” and says that Lake would be a good fit for NewsMax because they’re looking for personalities who are “damaged” and “cheap.”
However, it is well known that President Trump does not see Lake as a loser and has commended her several times for standing up and speaking out against the rigged elections in Arizona. Trump further endorsed Lake in her stolen elections for Governor and Senate, calling her “one of the toughest fighters in our movement” in his endorsement of Lake for the Senate late last year.
Lake told The Gateway Pundit that she continues to have a “great relationship with President Trump.”
Mediaite had previously reported:
Kari Lake is in “active negotiations” to join Newsmax after losing her bid for the Senate in Arizona, Mediaite has learned.
Lake, a local news broadcaster turned fierce Trump loyalist, is in talks with the conservative network for an on-camera position, sources said.
Before emerging as a far-right political candidate, Lake spent more than two decades as an anchor for the Phoenix television station Fox 10.
After quitting the station, she became one of the loudest voices promoting Trump’s false claims of a stolen election in 2020, and mounted a bid for governor of Arizona in 2022. Lake lost that race, but refused to concede and cried fraud.
A local election official she had blamed for her loss sued for defamation over her false claims. The suit was recently settled for an undisclosed amount.
ADVERTISEMENTLake ran for Senate in 2024 but lost to Democrat Ruben Gallego, underperforming Trump, who won the state in the presidential contest. She has not conceded the race, but has not challenged the results either.
