Emily Maitlis clarifies exit from Channel 4 News set during U.S. election coverage

Emily Maitlis has addressed rumors about her exit from the Channel 4 News set during the U.S. presidential election coverage. She clarified that she left briefly to record her podcast, The News Agents, and did not storm off in disgrace. Viewers criticized Maitlis for her on-air comments, which some deemed unprofessional. Her remarks about Donald Trump's comments on Haitian immigrants drew attention, leading to playful reprimands from her co-host. The broadcast featured former Prime Minister Boris Johnson promoting his book, which led to a humorous exchange with co-host Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Johnson later accused Channel 4 of biased coverage, prompting further discussion among the panelists.
