California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, seeking $787 million. The suit claims that Fox host Jesse Watters deliberately misrepresented a phone call between Trump and Newsom, falsely suggesting the call occurred close to a military deployment. Newsom argues that the manipulated footage pushes a false narrative that he misled the public. Citing a violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, the lawsuit highlights discrepancies between Watters' claims and Fox’s own reporting, which aligns with Newsom’s statements about the call. This legal action echoes a previous high-profile case against Fox.
Newsom accuses Fox News of defamation, demanding $787m for manipulating footage to misrepresent a call he had with Trump regarding national guard deployments.
Fox's reporting, which contradicted Watters' claims, confirmed Newsom’s version of events, raising significant questions about the network's journalistic practices.
