California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) filed a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News over its reporting on his phone call with President Trump during LA riots.
Newsom is seeking the same amount of money that Fox News was ordered to pay in a settlement to Dominion Voting Systems.
Earlier this month President Trump sent Fox News reporter John Roberts a screenshot of his phone call with Newsom after the California Governor said Trump never called him.
Trump said he called Newsom during the Los Angeles riots to discuss the National Guard and other security measures to quell the riots.
Newsom said Trump never called him so the President sent a screenshot to prove Newsom wrong.
The lawsuit is demanding an on-air retraction from Fox News host Jesse Watters over his statements on Newsom’s phone call with Trump.
If Jesse Watters issues a retraction, Newsom will drop the lawsuit.
