WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Fox News, which was sued by a fired journalist who had accused the network of violating sick leave law and also targeting him for political views. Jason Donner lost the sick leave claim Monday, the last remaining issue in his lawsuit in federal court in Washington. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ruled in Fox's favor, saying Donner's conduct was not protected by the District of Columbia's sick leave law. The judge noted that Fox requires an ill employee to contact a supervisor as soon as possible and no later than two hours after a start time. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper dismissed that claim in 2024.
