California Gov. Gavin Newsom heard Fox News Friday, a request for damages of at least $ 787 million in the conservative network for allegedly defamation him in comments on a telephone call with the president Donald Trump.
“More lies,” wrote Newsom in a tweet that announced his trial, which was filed in Upper courtyard In Delaware, where Fox News is incorporated.
The amount of damage that the Democratic Governor seeks almost exactly corresponds to what Fox Corp. Fox News, and other Fox cable networks have agreed to pay Dominion voting systems In April 2023, to settle a trial of Delaware, alleging that they defamed Dominion by wrongly affirming that his machines influenced the outcome of the 2020 presidential election against Trump.
Newsom’s costume focuses on the comments of Fox News presenter, Jesse Waters, who said that Newsom had lied about not called with Trump for a certain day in early June.
The trial alleys that Fox News was motivated to “lie and distort on behalf of the president”, who embarked on a quarrel with the governor on the deployment of the troops of the National Guard of California and the Marines in Los Angeles in response to the demonstrations against the efforts to apply the immigration of the Trump administration.
Newsom lawyers, in a letter on Friday to Fox News, said that the governor was ready to voluntarily reject his trial “if Fox News retracts the assertion that he lied by speaking of President Trump not calling him on June 9.” The letter also requires “official air apologies” from Watters and Fox News in exchange for rejection of the pursuit.
“If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on behalf of Donald Trump, it should face consequences – as in the Dominion case,” Newsom said in a statement.
“I believe that the American people should be able to trust the information they receive from a big media. Until Fox is ready to be honest, I will continue to fight against their propaganda machine.”
CNBC asked for comments from Fox News on the Newsom trial.
