Veteran correspondent for the US broadcaster, Terry Moran, had called Trump aide Stephen Miller a ‘world-class hater’.

Veteran journalist Terry Moran will not be returning to ABC News after he was suspended by the broadcaster for a social media post that called United States President Donald Trump and his deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller “world-class haters”.

In a statement, the US network said on Tuesday that Moran’s quickly-deleted post on X was “a clear violation of ABC News policies”, the Associated Press news agency reports.

It added that Moran’s contract was ending, and “based on his recent post… we have made the decision not to renew”.

The post on Sunday night was primarily directed at Miller, whom Moran described as “the brains behind Trumpism”.
