InfoWars host Owen Shroyer has said he is leaving his show after disagreements with boss Alex Jones, who he suggested had branded him "too anti-Trump."

The War Room presenter on the right-wing website broadcaster shared the news with viewers on Monday night, revealing in a video stream on social media site X that he had a "shocking announcement" to make about his role.

Some MAGA supporters have revealed they are not happy with Trump's handling of various issues, including Israel's war against Hamas in Palestine, and the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
