California Governor Gavin Newsom Files $787M Lawsuit Against Fox News Over Alleged Defamation
California Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News, alleging the network deliberately misrepresented a phone conversation between him and former President Donald Trump. The legal action centers on a June 10 broadcast segment where host Jesse Watters accused Newsom of lying about the timing of the call, using edited footage and misleading graphics.
The lawsuit claims Fox News exploited a discrepancy in Trump's public statements about the call date to paint Newsom as dishonest. Newsom's legal team asserts the network's actions were politically motivated, targeting the governor as a prominent progressive critic of Fox's conservative agenda.
