California Governor Gavin Newsom filed a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Friday, saying the network defamed him by lying about his phone call with Donald Trump related to the president's immigration crackdown.
The complaint filed in Delaware Superior Court accused Fox of demonstrating "willingness to protect President Trump from his own false statements by smearing his political opponent Governor Newsom in a dispute over when the two last spoke during a period of national strife."
