Davies had been with FOX News Media for nearly 15 years, starting in 2010 as an editor and later being elevated to a producer.

"Throughout his tenure, he covered some of the most consequential foreign news of the last two decades, including the war in Ukraine, several G20 and G7 summits, Brexit, and the terrorist attacks in France and Belgium," Scott wrote. "He also took multiple trips to Iraq where he covered the ISIS uprising in Mosul and to Seoul to report on the tensions between North and South Korea."
