BBC: Donald Trump lashes out at Rupert Murdoch over vote fraud case
Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, accusing him of betraying Fox hosts in recent legal testimony.
On Tuesday, Mr Trump posted: "Why is Rupert Murdoch throwing his anchors under the table, which also happens to be killing his case and infuriating his viewers, who will again be leaving in droves - they already are." Fox News has argued that the commentary it aired is protected under the constitutional right to free speech, and that it was only reporting on the then-president's allegations, not supporting them.
He said that he had told Mr Kushner he could not change the outcome for Mr Trump because "the numbers are the numbers". Mr Murdoch told his son and Fox Corporation chief executive Lachlan Murdoch in a private message: "We should and could have gone first but at least being second saves us a Trump explosion!"
"During Trump's campaign, Rupert provided Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, with Fox confidential information about Biden's ads, along with debate strategy," lawyers said in the court filing.
