Gavin Newsom is Suing Fox News for $787 Million for Lying About a Phone Call with Trump"},"content":{"rendered":"

For the past ten years Donald Trump has cemented his reputation as being the most litigious president in American history. He has filed numerous lawsuits, especially against the media that he maligns in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”<\/em> It is a brazen assault on the Constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of a free press.<\/p>\n

In virtually every case that Trump has brought, the analysis of legal experts has been nearly universal that the suits had no merit. They were driven by Trump’s craving for vengeance against journalists who dared to tell the truth about him. Just as he and his minions are doing now with regard to his adventurism in Iran<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, due to unrelated business concerns, and sometimes just plain cowardice, the corporate parents of some of the news networks have sought to settle with Trump.<\/p>\n

In a deliberately ironic twist. California Governor Gavin Newsom is now suing Fox News for $787 million alleging defamation by primetime host – and the stupidest man on Fox News – Jesse Watters. The amount sought in the lawsuit is the same amount that Fox News agreed to settle for<\/a><\/strong> in a case where they were sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems. As reported by Variety<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“California Gov. Gavin Newsom has sued Fox News for defamation, demanding $787 million in monetary damages.<\/p>\n

“The governor alleged that Fox News host Jesse Watters used an edited clip of President Trump\u2019s remarks about Newsom to falsely claim that Newsom had lied about Trump not calling him about deploying National Guard troops to quell L.A. protests.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Newsom’s case revolves around Trump’s assertion that he called Newsom on June 9. Trump said that he told Newsom that he was “doing a bad job”<\/em> handling protests against ICE, and that “Los Angeles would be burning”<\/em> if he had not deployed the National Guard. None of which was true. Newsom denied in a tweet that there was any such call and later added that the last time they had spoken was on June 7.<\/p>\n

There was no call. Not even a voicemail.<\/p>\n

Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn\u2019t even know who he\u2019s talking to. https:\/\/t.co\/y7TJUhUZGI<\/a><\/p>\n
