ABC News said Moran’s since-deleted tweet, in which he called Trump and Miller each a “world-class hater,” “was a clear violation of ABC News policies.”
Moran was suspended from ABC News on Sunday after saying Miller was “a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred” and that “his hatreds are spiritual nourishment,” provoking the White House to demand accountability from ABC News.
“We hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,” ABC News added in its statement.
Moran’s contract was set to expire Friday, according to The New York Times.
