The next journalist to get the axe at CBS News will reportedly be 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who has been with the program since 2015. Alfonsi will be “out at the end of the month when her contract expires,” according to a new report from Page Six.

This news comes months after Alfonsi became at odds with CBS News’ editor-in-chief Bari Weiss after Weiss pulled one of her 60 Minutes segments, which criticized Donald Trump‘s administration, from airing. The segment investigated the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan migrants to a terrorism confinement center (megaprison) in El Salvador. It was pulled just hours before airtime.
