That’s one from the MAGA playbook.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday he wants Fox News to pay him $787 million in a defamation lawsuit, accusing the right-wing network of lying about phone calls between him and President Donald Trump earlier this month.
His ire is specifically with host Jesse Watters. The Democrat says the primetime pundit’s program edited a video of Trump to support the president’s allegedly bogus claim that he called Newsom twice amid their sparring over anti-ICE protests.
“No more lies,” Newsom posted on X. “I’m suing Fox News for $787 million.”
This is a developing story that will be updated.
