California Governor Gavin Newsom has initiated legal action against Fox News for defamation, demanding $787 million in damages. He accuses the network's host, Jesse Watters, of misrepresenting his communications with President Trump regarding the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. Newsom's lawsuit cites an edited clip that allegedly misrepresents the context of their conversation. His legal team has indicated they would consider dropping the case if Fox retracts the false claims and Watters publicly apologizes. The sought damages reflect a notable precedent set by the recent Dominion Voting case against the network.
