What Happened: The Core of the Dispute
1. Newsom Sues Fox for Defamation
California Governor Gavin Newsom filed a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News, centering on its coverage of a phone call between him and former President Donald Trump.
The lawsuit was filed in Delaware Superior Court, where Fox Corp is incorporated.
2. The Disputed Trump-Newsom Call
According to Newsom, he spoke with Trump for about 16 minutes late on June 6, or early June 7, depending on time zones.
But Trump publicly said (on June 10) that he had spoken to Newsom âa day ago,â implying a call on June 9.
Newsom strongly denied Trumpâs version: âThere was no call. Not even a voicemail.â
3. Fox Newsâ Coverage
On Jesse Watters Primetime, Fox aired a segment that Newsom says was deceptively edited: they cut Trumpâs remarks in a way that hid important context.
The chyron (on-screen text) during Wattersâs broadcast said: âGavin Lied About Trumpâs Call.â
Watters also questioned Newsomâs integrity:
> âWhy would Newsom lie and claim Trump never called him?â
4. Newsomâs Legal Ask & Conditions
Heâs demanding $787 million in punitive damages.
He also wants a retraction of the false claims and a formal, on-air apology from Watters and Fox.
If Fox does that, Newsom says heâll drop the case.
5. Fox News Pushback
Fox called the lawsuit a âtransparent publicity stunt ⊠designed to chill free speech critical of him.â
They filed a motion to dismiss, arguing among other things that:
Wattersâs comment about Newsom âlyingâ was opinion, based on disclosed facts â thus protected by the First Amendment.
Fox argues Newsom did, in fact, have a call with Trump (on June 6 or 7), so saying he âliedâ is not totally false.
They also claim Newsom cannot prove actual malice, i.e., that Fox knowingly made false statements or acted recklessly about their truth.

đ§ Why Itâs Such a Big Deal
1. Echoes the Dominion Case
The $787 million sum is not random: it’s nearly the same amount Fox paid to Dominion Voting Systems in 2023 after another defamation case.
By invoking that number, Newsom is signaling: this isnât just a PR fight â he’s serious about accountability.
2. Reputation & Political Risk
Newsom argues that Foxâs coverage damaged his credibility and political standing.
Because of his role and visibility, this could influence public perception on national security issues, governance, and media trust.
3. Media Accountability
If Newsom wins, it could set a bigger precedent for media outlets facing consequences for distorting or editing content to push a political narrative.
Raises questions about journalistic ethics: Did Fox properly verify dates and context? Did they act with âactual maliceâ?
4. Legal Challenges
Proving defamation as a public figure is hard: Newsom must show that Fox knew it was false (or had reckless disregard) â thatâs a steep bar.
Foxâs defense leans heavily on First Amendment protections, especially for on-air commentary and opinions.
If the case goes to discovery, internal Fox documents could come to light. Newsom hinted: âDiscovery will be fun. See you in court, buddy.â
5. Political Power Play
Newsom is not just fighting Fox; he’s challenging a powerful conservative media machine that has defended Trump.
He frames this as part of a broader âfight against their propaganda machine.â
If he wins, any damages could go to anti-Trump causes, per his legal team.

đ Risks & Possible Outcomes
If Newsom Wins Big:
Massive reputational blow to Fox News.
Potential deterrent for media companies airing misleading or manipulated content.
Validation (for Newsom) that media must be held accountable; could boost his political profile.
If Fox Wins / Gets Dismissal:
They defend their role as a ânewsâ + commentary network.
Signal that high-profile figures cannot easily sue for defamation just because coverage is critical.
Legal costs for Newsom, especially if he fails to prove âactual malice.â
Settlement Possibility:
Newsom is open to dropping the suit if Fox issues a retraction & apology.
A negotiated settlement could be off-court, but the pressure is real: discovery could expose internal Fox strategies.

đŹ Why This Headlines as: âWHAT ARE YOU HIDING, TUCKER?!â is Kind of a Misnomer
Tucker Carlson Isnât Central: Interestingly, Tucker Carlson is not named in the lawsuit â the suit targets Jesse Watters and Fox more broadly.
The dramatized âWhat are you hiding, Tucker?!â framing may be more for provocation than legal accuracy â but it taps into the larger narrative: Is Fox covering up for Trump?
