Newsom's defamation lawsuit against Fox News set for 2028 trial
California Governor Gavin Newsom's defamation lawsuit against Fox News has been scheduled for a trial beginning in March 2028. The lawsuit was filed by Newsom over statements made by Fox News host Jeanine Pirro in 2019, which he alleged were defamatory. Pirro questioned the legitimacy of President Obama's birth certificate and suggested that Newsom's parents were involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Newsom's legal team stated that the trial date was set after a recent court hearing. Fox News has denied the allegations.
