California Governor Gavin Newsom has launched a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News, claiming the network has misrepresented a phone call he had with President Trump related to immigration protests in Los Angeles. The lawsuit argues that Fox made misleading statements about their conversation, particularly regarding the deployment of National Guard troops, which Trump didn't discuss during their call. Newsom's complaint emphasizes that Fox's actions were intended to protect Trump amid national tensions and labeled Newsom as a liar, showcasing a pattern of misinformation in the media.
Fox News is accused of deliberately misrepresenting the governor's phone call with Trump to discredit him, framing a narrative sensitive to the political climate.
Newsom's lawsuit asserts that the network acted with actual malice while providing false statements, aiming to protect Trump from his defamatory remarks.
