- Newsom claims that Fox News intentionally edited footage and made false statements to misrepresent a phone call, aiming to damage his political reputation during protests following federal immigration raids in Los Angeles.
- Newsom argued that Fox News should be held accountable if it spreads falsehoods supporting Donald Trump, similar to how the network faced repercussions in the Dominion lawsuit.
- The lawsuit demands damages comparable to Fox News' $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems and requests that Fox issue retractions along with a public apology from Jesse Watters, with Newsom willing to dismiss the case if these conditions are met.
