Trump screeches at Fox News in all-caps 3 a.m. Truth Social post

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump was up at 3 a.m. on Monday writing an all-caps tirade against Fox News for not continuing to push his false claims about the 2020 election being stolen from him. Apparently reacting to news that Fox has been making a late push to settle the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems, Trump slammed the network for not doubling down on the same bogus election conspiracy theories that got it sued in the first place. "IF FOX WOULD FINALLY ADMIT THAT THERE WAS LARGE SCALE CHEATING & IRREGULARITIES IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WHICH WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR THEM, & FOR AMERICA, THE CASE AGAINST THEM, WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE EXISTED AT ALL, WOULD BE GREATLY WEAKENED," the former president wrote. IN OTHER NEWS: Clarence Thomas to formally disclose real estate deal with GOP megadonor 9 years after it happened In reality, legal experts say that Dominion's lawyers have uncovered significant evidence of malice at Fox News, as leaked internal messages and court testimony have shown that Fox continued broadcasting false claims about Dominion even though they privately believed them to be false.
