Ex-Fox & Friends Host Leaves Country Amid Fraud Charges


July 15, 2019 at 1:11 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Ex-Fox & Friends co-host Clayton Morris has left the country amid more than two dozen lawsuits from investors who say he defrauded them in real estate deals involving properties in Indianapolis,” the Indianapolis Star reports.

“Morris, who previously resided in a $1.4 million home in New Jersey, has moved with his family to a coastal resort town Portugal, according to his wife’s Facebook post.”

although he IS offering to give up his "fleet" of private jets. What you wanna bet he will conveniently leave one out?

These are trial runs for turdface. He must flee if he loses, or he will go to jail.

I'm sure he keeps HIS plane fueled and ready to go.

It would be even better if he thought he could take Air Force One, and give it to Putin. Then we would have cause to shoot it down.

A boy can dream...

Clayton Morris (born December 31, 1976) is an American real estate investor and host of the Investing in Real Estate podcast. He is a former co-host of The Daily Buzz and Good Day Philadelphia on Fox's WTXF-TV who moved to co-host Fox & Friends on Fox News Channel in 2009. He covered consumer technology for Fox and hosted weekly technology segments for Fox News Radio and Fox News. On September 4, 2017, he left Fox News.[1][2]

Morris was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Wilson High School in Spring Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania (today West Lawn, Pennsylvania).[citation needed] He graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1999.[3] He was a frequent guest-panelist on the Fox News late-night satire show, Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.


In March 2019, investors filed more than two dozen lawsuits in Indiana and New Jersey, claiming that Morris was running a Ponzi scheme involving the sales of hundred of houses in poor neighborhoods through his investment company, Morris Invest, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The investors say they were sold rental properties which Morris Invest promised to rehabilitate and rent out, earning them rental income. Some said they later discovered the properties they received rental income from for several months were boarded up and vacant and they began receiving city code and country health department violations. Others found they had purchased vacant lots, small shacks or buildings that were falling down.[4]

By July 2019, Morris had moved the family to a resort town on the coast of Portugal. The Morrises blame the investment losses on his business partner and say they intend to fight the suits from overseas. The investors and their attorneys, however, have said the move will make the suits more difficult and could hinder efforts to collect monetary damages if their suits are successful. Federal and state law enforcement officials would not comment on whether or not there was a criminal investigation.[5]

Personal life[edit]
He and his wife, Natali,[6][7] have three children and lived in Maplewood, New Jersey[8] until 2019 when they moved to Portugal.[5]

... thing or he had been planning it for some time. One more Fox News creeps. Sean Hannity was involved in some kind of fuck the poor real estate scam too. I would look it up but I can only deal with so much Fox in a day.
