Jennifer Holton joined FOX 13 News in March 2018 as a multimedia journalist.

She also traveled to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to cover the military commissions for the alleged 9/11 co-conspirators.
During the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, Jennifer created a weekly bi-partisan segment for her evening broadcast called “Week in the White House.”
In 2017, she was awarded by the Associated Press for her story on two World War II veterans reunited 70 years after the pilot was saved by Tuskegee Airmen over war-torn Germany.
Before moving to the Sunshine State, Jennifer worked in the Fox News Channel DC Bureau as the executive assistant and online reporter for Greta Van Susteren.
A Cleveland, Ohio native, she is a graduate of the Tim Russert Department of Communications at John Carroll University.
