💨 Abstract

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million, accusing it of defamation for knowingly broadcasting false information about a call with former President Donald Trump. The lawsuit, filed in Delaware, claims Fox News' Jesse Watters deceptively edited a clip to falsely accuse Newsom of lying about the timing of their phone conversation. Newsom seeks to stop the airing of the false segment and to hold Fox News accountable for its misinformation.
