California Gov. Gavin Newsom Sues Fox News over Alleged Defamation in Story about Call with Trump
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom sued Fox News on Friday over alleged defamation, saying the network knowingly aired false information about a phone call he had with President Donald Trump around the time the National Guard was sent Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleges Fox News anchor Jesse Watters edited out key information from a clip of Trump talking about calling Newsom, then used the edited video to assert that Newsom had lied about the two talking. Newsom is asking for $787 million in punitive damages in the lawsuit filed in Delaware, where Fox is incorporated. That's the same amount Fox agreed to pay in 2023 to settle a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems. The company said Fox repeatedly aired false allegations that its equipment had switched votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 election, and the discovery process revealed the network's efforts not to alienate conservatives in its audience in the wake of Biden's victory. 'If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump's behalf, it should face consequences — just like it did in the Dominion case,' Newsom said in a statement. 'I believe the American people should be able to trust the information they receive from a major news outlet.' He asked a judge to order Fox to stop broadcasting 'the false, deceptive, and fraudulent video and accompanying statements' that Newsom said falsely say he lied about when he spoke to Trump regarding the situation in Los Angeles, where protests erupted on June 6 over Trump's immigration crackdown. Fox News said in a statement that it would fight the lawsuit 'vigorously' and looks forward to it being dismissed. 'Gov. Newsom's transparent publicity stunt is frivolous and designed to chill free speech critical of him,' it said. Newsom's suit centers on the details of the phone call with the president. Both Newsom and the White House have said the two spoke late at night June 6 in California, which was already June 7 on the East Coast. Though the content of the call is not part of the lawsuit, Newsom has said they never discussed Trump's plan to deploy the National Guard, which he announced the next day. Trump said the deployment was necessary to protect federal buildings from people protesting increased immigration arrests. Trump later announced that he would also deploy Marines to the area. On June 10, when 700 Marines arrived in the Los Angeles area, Trump told reporters he had spoken to Newsom 'a day ago' about his decision to send troops. That day Newsom posted on the social platform X that there had been no call. 'There was no call. Not even a voicemail,' Newsom wrote. On the evening of June 10, Fox's Jesse Watters Primetime show played a clip of Trump's statement about his call with Newsom but removed Trump's comment that the call was 'a day ago,' the lawsuit said. Watters also referred to call logs another Fox News reporter posted online showing the phone call the two had on June 6. 'Why would Newsom lie and claim Trump never called him? Why would he do that?' Watters said on air, according to the lawsuit. The segment included text across the bottom of the screen that said 'Gavin Lied About Trump's Call.' Newsom's suit argues that by editing the material, Fox 'maliciously lied as a means to sabotage informed national discussion.' Precise details about when the call happened are important because the days when Trump deployed the Guard to Los Angeles despite Newsom's opposition 'represented an unprecedented moment,' Newsom's lawyers wrote in a letter to Fox demanding a retraction and on-air apology. 'History was occurring in real time. It is precisely why reporters asked President Trump the very question that prompted this matter: when did he last speak with Governor Newsom,' the letter said. The law makes it difficult to prove defamation, but some cases result in settlements and, no matter the outcome, can tie up news outlets in expensive legal fights. Trump, particularly since taking office a second time, has been aggressive in going after news organizations he feels has wronged him. He is in settlement talks over his lawsuit against CBS News about a '60 Minutes' interview last fall with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. And this week Trump's lawyers threatened to sue CNN and The New York Times over their reporting of an initial assessment of damage to Iran's nuclear program from a U.S. bombing.

Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder
Colin Cowherd Slams Shedeur Sanders' 101 MPH Blunder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When you are as polarizing as quarterback Shedeur Sanders, almost everything you do gets put into the spotlight. Advertisement That's exactly what the Cleveland Browns rookie has been dealing with throughout the last couple of years. Most recently, he was cited for speeding early Tuesday morning for allegedly driving over 100 mph. According to police records, Sanders was traveling at 101 mph, 41 miles over the speed limit, and was stopped at about 12:24 a.m. Fox personality Colin Cowherd is notorious for having loud takes on NFL quarterbacks, particularly towards younger players and he unleashed on Sanders following the news. 'Mike Tomlin often says two is a trend. Can't score up three or four times, two is a trend,' Cowherd said. 'Just two times. I'm not sure if I need two times when you're a young quarterback. One bad judgment turns me off, but I have now, in the last couple months, two things that really turn me off with Shedeur Sanders.' Advertisement To Cowherd's defense, an NFL quarterback is typically viewed as the face of the franchise, and being a leader is vital. Despite the talent Sanders has shown on film, Cowherd is out on him, saying he's not sure if the former Colorado Buffalo is mature enough. 'That cringy awful 'legendary' draft room. Bro, you're a B prospect. Your dad is 'Primetime' who led with his ego for years, you have to have a little self-awareness. I had more than one GM say 'total turnoff.'. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bad look,' Cowherd said. 'And now this, 100 miles an hour. Yup, all you fanboys, go ahead, Manziel, Baker, and Deshaun Watson, defended it to the hilt on your Reddit account. Sorry, don't minimize it, this is not good for a quarterback.' Sanders already faced an uphill battle to see the field as a rookie, but this likely hurts his chances, at least for the near future. The Browns clearly believe in him, however, veteran Joe Flacco is expected to start week one with Kenny Pickett not too far behind. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘The Residence' series review: Uzo Aduba powers this quirky mystery set in the White House
Remember Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' from Orange Is The Black? That's Primetime Emmy Award winner Uzo Aduba, now portraying Detective Cordelia Cupp in the Netflix series The Residence, produced by Shonda Rhimes. Playing a birder, quirky Cordelia investigates the murder of A.B. Wynter, the White House Chief Usher played by Giancarlo Esposito, during a State Dinner at the White House. She sketches to think and she is capable of solving the unsolvable. She does not let something go, even if it's trivial. Her memory and attention to detail is evident from the fact that she traverses seven seas just to look at one bird. Randall Park portrays Edwin Park, an FBI special agent who's assigned to help Detective Cupp on the case. The series is inspired by the book 'The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House' written by Kate Andersen Brower. With stunningly replicated sets of the White House, whose rooms, carpets and props are all integral to the story, the show was primarily shot in Los Angeles, California, at Raleigh Studios, according to Netflix. Writer Paul William Davies who wanted to pay homage to other creations of the same genre, weaved that into the show by naming each episode in reference to other famous murder mysteries. The comic relief in many instances are cleverly showcased in such a way that it may echo the inner voice of the viewer. The Residence (English) Creator: Paul William Davies Cast: Uzo Aduba, Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Edwina Findley, Molly Griggs, Ken Marino, Susan Kelechi Watson Episodes: 8 Run-time: 47-87 minutes Storyline: An avid bird watcher, detective Cordelia Cupp, tries to solve a murder with zero witnesses in the White House The White House staff get more prominence in the show, and it boasts of a diverse cast, including a number of Black actors in supporting roles. The interpersonal dynamics in the show's setting showcases the conflict of worlds between the staff and the presidential family. The peppy background score brings in a certain energy to the funny murder mystery. The twists and turns make the viewer want to keep guessing. Detective Cupp interrogates everyone at the State Dinner after the murder, and it takes forever to figure out the case, even as a Senate committee assembled to investigate. Confident of solving the murder that had zero witnesses and a lot of loose ends, Cupp pauses her questioning to go birdwatching at the WH grounds, as it's in her nature to observe them while analysing the current situation. It also helps her to take it all in when there is a little too much to assess. This whodunnit feels like it was inspired by Knives Out where everyone was a suspect and everyone had a motive to kill the deceased character. While some of the episodes run for long, I feel it was intentional, as it takes forever for a bird watcher to spot the birds. The Residence is a binge-worthy series as the viewer is unable to figure out the killer even in the last few minutes of the last episode. That's how unsolvable it is. The show ends on a high note. Uzo Aduba has stamped her mark again as Detective Cordelia Cupp. 'The Residence' is now streaming on Netflix.
