Former President Donald Trump’s souring relationship with Rupert Murdoch and Fox News could be reaching the point of no return over his 2020 stolen election claims — adding another layer of intrigue to the 2024 GOP presidential race.
Mr. Trump on Tuesday laid into Mr. Murdoch, saying the Fox News head honcho — in sworn statements last month — turned his back on some of the network’s biggest stars and viewers when he admitted some hosts promoted false rigged-election claims.
In a deposition released Monday, Murdoch said hosts Jeanine Pirro, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo “endorsed” the claims. Mr. Murdoch said he doubted the allegations, saying “we thought everything was on the up-and-up.” But he rejected the idea that the entire network promoted the stolen election allegations.The deposition is related to a $1.
He added, “They look too scared and frightened to reveal the massive amounts of voter fraud & irregularities already found, and it would actually help them in the lawsuit. Instead Fox News wants to silence its anchors and reporters, the reason so many of their viewers fled. The Election was that of a Third World Country!”
Other Republicans have blamed Mr. Trump’s election-fraud war for hurting the GOP’s image, turning off middle-of-the-road voters and helping Democrats exceed expectations in recent elections.
