- Laura Ingraham says she was forced to miss her own Fox News show after a United Airlines diversion.
- Jeanine Pirro hosted in her absence on a night of key developments in Trump's New York trial.
- Ingraham then called into the show to rail against the trial's proceedings.
A top Fox News host says she was stranded on a much-delayed flight on Tuesday, causing her to call into her own show to explain why she couldn't make it.
Laura Ingraham, host of the primetime The Ingraham Angle, posted to X on Tuesday to say that her United Airlines flight from Washington DC to Houston had been diverted to Austin.
The trip — which ordinarily takes about three hours — had kept her in the air for seven and a half hours, she wrote.
She added: "Forced to miss the show on this huge news night."
