Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for defamation over its coverage of a phone call the California Gov. had with President Donald Trump.
In the suit, filed Friday, Newsom says that Fox News had used deceptive edits to claim that the governor had lied in saying that Trump had not called him about deploying National Guard troops during the L.A. protests. He is demanding $787 million in monetary damages, which is about the same amount Fox paid in 2023 to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems.
