Mark Bankston discusses defamation suit against Fox News with David Pakman

The amount is nearly identical to Dominion Voting’s 2023 defamation settlement with Fox News.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for defamation, alleging that the news outlet intentionally manipulated its coverage to give the appearance that the governor lied about a phone call with President Trump.

The lawsuit, which seeks at least $787 million in damages, comes as the California governor adopts an increasingly combative style with the president and his allies.
