Report: Moore Won't Go Back to CNN Gig After Fed Withdrawal

Stephen Moore will not go back to his role as a conservative economic commentator on CNN now that he has dropped out of contention for the Federal Reserve Board, The Hill reported. 

The cable news outlet shot down the idea in a statement Thursday, The Hill reported.

"Stephen Moore will not be returning as a contributor," a CNN spokesperson told the news outlet.

His old cable stomping ground was among the media outlets that unearthed controversial comments – condemned on both sides of the aisle – that he had made in the past about women, The Hill reported.

In a letter to President Donald Trump on Thursday, Moore said "the unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family and three more months of this would be too hard on us."

"I will continue to be a loud economic voice advocating for your policies, which will keep us on a prosperous path of 3-4% growth with rising wages and low inflation for as far as the eye can see," he added. "I am always at your disposal."

Moore joined CNN in 2017 and left in March.
