Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday sued Fox News for hundreds of millions of dollars, claiming the channel engaged in “malicious propaganda” by falsely suggesting he lied about whether President Donald Trump had called him about deploying the National Guard to help keep order amid angry protests over immigration enforcement.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News for $787 million, accusing the media outlet of defamation in its coverage of a recent phone call between him and President Donald Trump.

The lawsuit, which seeks at least $787 million in damages, comes as the California governor adopts an increasingly combative style with the president and his allies.
