WATCH: Jesse Watters Segment at the Heart of Gavin Newsom's $787 Million Defamation Suit
Briefly

California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News for $787 million, alleging that Jesse Watters falsely accused him of lying about a call with President Trump regarding protests in Los Angeles. Newsom claims that the call took place on June 6, while Trump misrepresented the timing of the call during a June 10 statement. He criticized Watters for spreading misinformation and emphasized the necessity of trust in major news outlets, referencing Fox's prior defamation issues with Dominion Voting Systems as precedent for accountability.
If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump's behalf, it should face consequences just like it did in the Dominion case.
There was no call. Not even a voicemail. Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to.
