It’s been nearly three months since Tucker Carlson’s tumultuous departure from Fox News, and the network is still cleaning up his mess. “Fox and Mr. Carlson made Epps the central figure in a lie they concocted about January 6, 2021. (Per The New York Times, one of Epps’s lawyers, Michael Teter, first issued a retraction and apology request when Carlson was still at the network; that request was ignored.) The suit also makes reference to the network’s recent $787.5 million settlement in a defamation suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems. But Epps’ lawyers cite Carlson saying, on TV, ‘I knew for a fact.’”Fox News and Carlson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
