Fox News has withdrawn its complaint against a Tucker Carlson producer who is suing the network. Abby Grossberg, a senior producer and head of booking for Carlson, filed two separate lawsuits against Fox News on Monday evening alleging that the network attempted to have her and her former boss Maria Bartiromo take the fall in the $1.6-billion Dominion defamation suit. Grossberg accused the network’s lawyers of pushing her to give misleading testimony about Fox’s coverage of baseless election fraud lies during the 2020 election. Additionally, she claimed the network told her to downplay a text exchange with then-senior vice president of weekend news David Clark, who had told her “there will be no ‘fact checking’ today” ahead of a Bartiromo segment featuring Rudy Giuliani.
