In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, Donald Trump lashed out at Gavin Newsom, using profanity to criticize the California governor and blaming him for the state's issues.

"Trump's Conflicting Stance: Praise for China's Xi and Threat of Higher Tariffs"

During an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, former President Donald Trump received pushback for his effusive praise of China and baseless accusations against President Joe Biden. Bartiromo challenged Trump's personnel decisions and expressed surprise at his positive remarks about China, but did not question his unsubstantiated claim that Biden is a "Manchurian Candidate" receiving money from China. Trump's comments went unchallenged despite Bartiromo's recent promotion of the conspiracy theory that China intentionally released COVID-19 to remove Trump from office.

The Controversial Saga of Hunter Biden: A Timeline of Scandals and Indictments

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo promoted yet another unfounded theory about Hunter Biden, suggesting that his recent federal indictment on tax charges was a ploy by the Department of Justice to prevent him from testifying in front of Republican investigators. Bartiromo made the claims during an interview with Republican Rep. Byron Donalds, who echoed her suspicions. However, there is no evidence to support these conspiracy theories, and even Fox News reporter Peter Doocy acknowledged that House Republicans have failed to provide concrete evidence of Joe Biden personally profiting from his son's overseas business. Despite the lack of evidence, the GOP-led House is preparing to vote on formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

"Matt Gaetz and Maria Bartiromo Clash Over Government Funding and Biden Probes"

Rep. Matt Gaetz and Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo clashed over the government funding stalemate within the GOP and investigations into President Biden. Gaetz opposes short-term spending agreements and criticized Speaker Kevin McCarthy for not moving the bills that cut spending. Bartiromo highlighted the wins achieved by House Republicans, including setting up committees to investigate the Department of Justice and China, and launching an inquiry into Biden's potential impeachment. Gaetz dismissed these as mere process steps and argued that they have not produced tangible results. He also criticized McCarthy's impeachment inquiry into Biden as "failure theater" and threatened to remove McCarthy from the Speakership if his spending demands are not met.

"Jan. 6 Special Counsel Investigating Ted Cruz's Alleged Election Scheme on Leaked Tapes"

The special counsel investigating former President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election is reportedly interested in tapes held by former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg, according to her lawyer. Grossberg, who is suing Fox News for a hostile work environment, has shared some of her audio recordings with MSNBC, including one featuring Sen. Ted Cruz explaining to Fox host Maria Bartiromo how Republicans could delay the certification of President Biden's victory. Fox News recently agreed to pay $787 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle a defamation lawsuit.

Ted Cruz caught on tape scheming to challenge 2020 election results.

MSNBC aired whistleblower audio of Sen. Ted Cruz plotting to overthrow the 2020 election by blocking the certification of Joe Biden’s win on Jan. 6, then establishing a commission to investigate the nonexistent claims of fraud which would ultimately “decide” who to inaugurate. Cruz reportedly tried to sell his plan to Fox host and Trump ally Maria Bartiromo on Jan. 2—four days before the Capitol riot. The claims in the recording add detail to previous statements made by the Texas Republican—who the same day as his phone call with Bartiromo released a statement outlining a bare-bones plan to challenge the 2020 election results on Jan. 6.

Stephen Colbert Identifies Fox News' Potential Downfall.

Stephen Colbert pointed out that Fox News may be in trouble in its legal battle against Dominion Voting Systems as the judge is considering appointing a special master to investigate whether Fox News lied to the court. The judge is upset that Fox News withheld key evidence, including a recording of Maria Bartiromo speaking off-the-air with Rudy Giuliani. In the recording, Bartiromo asks if Giuliani has evidence that Nancy Pelosi has an interest in Dominion. Colbert called Bartiromo's on-air statement about Pelosi "the phrase that pays," which could cost Fox News $1.6 billion.

Fox News faces legal woes and criticism in ongoing defamation cases.

Fox News has said that Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo, and other top on-air personalities will be available to testify as it defends itself against a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit claiming it lied about voter fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Fox host Jeanine Pirro and former host Lou Dobbs are also on Fox's witness list, and others including hosts Bret Baier and Dana Perino could be called to testify by either side. Dominion Voting Systems is hoping to prove that Fox ruined its reputation by repeatedly airing false claims by former Republican President Donald Trump, his lawyers, and others that its voting machines were used to steal the 2020 election for Democrat Joe Biden.

Fox News faces explosive lawsuits and potential $1.6 billion loss.

Former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the network, alleging that a "poisonous and entrenched patriarchy" at the network allows for the abuse of female staff. Grossberg says she was made to spy on host Maria Bartiromo, who execs called "crazy" and "menopausal." Grossberg accused Fox executives of forcing her to spy on the host and report back to executives about her behavior. Fox News engaged an independent outside counsel to investigate the concerns raised by Grossberg, which were made following a critical performance review.

Fox News Faces Legal Woes Over Dominion Testimony and Defamation Claims

Fox News producer Abby Grossberg has filed lawsuits against the network, accusing its lawyers of coercing her into giving misleading testimony in the ongoing legal battle over the network's coverage of unfounded claims about election fraud. Grossberg claims that Fox lawyers tried to position her and Maria Bartiromo to take the blame for Fox's repeated airing of conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems. Grossberg also alleges rampant misogyny and discrimination at the network, which left her and Bartiromo understaffed and unable to properly vet the truthfulness of claims made against Dominion on the air.
