Not even Fox News anchors are immune to President Donald Trump’s sweeping law and order push in Washington, D.C.
“Special Report” host and Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier was pulled over Saturday in Georgetown after a police officer spotted him picking up his phone while driving his wife’s Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, The New York Post reported.
“I picked up my ringing phone as I drove past an officer while driving my wife’s car in Georgetown,” Baier admitted on X Tuesday, after video of the stop surfaced online. “He pointed to have me pull over — I did. He was very professional. I had to dig for the registration card. Got a ticket and left. I didn’t know there was paparazzi,” he added, punctuating his post with an eye-roll emoji.
The video, captured by the Mollaan Babbington Group real estate firm, showed Baier being pulled over in the upscale neighborhood. Like many municipalities, D.C. bans cellphone use while driving unless it is hands-free.
