Donner filed the lawsuit in federal court alleging the network dismissed journalists who refuted false election fraud claims post-2020 election. The lawsuit claims Fox News aimed to regain viewers and appease former President Donald Trump by removing staff who opposed untrue statements that were being broadcast. This lawsuit follows Fox News’ $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over broadcasting false information after the 2020 election. Fitzpatrick was endorsed by Trump in 2020, but he was largely quiet in the weeks after Trump’s election loss. Fitzpatrick has acknowledged that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
