Fox News executives vetoed Trump from going on air Jan. 6, 2021, when hundreds of his supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol., court papers show.
The information comes from evidence unveiled this week in documents filed in Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
The documents also revealed that Fox Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch told CEO Suzanne Scott its on-air personalities should tell viewers the night before Jan. 6 that Joe Biden won the election.

The documents allege that the former president dialed into on-air personality Lou Dobbs’ show the afternoon of Jan. 6, but that executives shut down Trump’s efforts to appear on air.

On the evening of Jan. 6, Carlson texted his producer, calling Trump “a demonic force. A destroyer. But he’s not going to destroy us,” court papers show.

Tucker does whatever he thinks will make him the most money.
He will reveal whatever McCarthy’s staff tells him to reveal. Does anyone think he is going to look at anything that isn’t already “bookmarked.”
This is all set up to close out the Jan 6 issues long before the primaries start.
To be fair, he was living in the District of Columbia. Voting for Trump as a D.C. resident is like throwing a couple of rocks at the Indians during Custer’s Last Stand.
And we still won’t know who the eff Ray Epps is.
It’s not just CNBC... The truth is coming out all over the place. The Putinists can’t hide the fact that Tucker is a snake any longer and they are mad.
I’d like to have your comments and statements made at certain times in your life and use them to define your entire character and entire life.
You have a log in your eye sir.
Tucker voted for Kayne from his home in Florida.
McCarthy is one of the UniParty collaborators in The Steal Part Deaux in the works for 2024.
And too many people are still willing to hold their nose, and vote for horrible Republican candidates, claiming we need to keep the seat. That's why the party will never be reformed.
FAUX News has done good. The Dung Beetles have always despised them and now their huge former audience hates them too. Good job guys. My TV used to be on FOX News whenever we weren’t watching some program we wanted to see. It hasn’t been on FOX News ONE TIME for the past four or five years. You idiots started sliding left and pissed me off. Normally, when I leave, I don’t come back.
Paul Ryan is at the heart of the problem at Fox.
If I recall correctly, one of the criticisms of Trump on Jan 6 during the ‘riot’ was that, “He had the opportunity but did not want to make a public statement on TV”
I quit watching Faux News after the Debate Ambush of Trump by Meghan
Kelly, Frank Luntz and other hack.
Have not been back since. Don’t care about the pretenders at Faux either.
Excuse me?? "Invaded"?? Legal citizens visiting their own capitol is an invasion? They don't even use that language for illegal immigration! But now we see they don't consider this to be our country.
That’s funny. Because I recall watching Trump at the lectern do exactly that.
Did you miss it?
The ‘criticism’ was that Trump sat and watched the TV, and his staff told/asked him to respond, and they said he would not.
So maybe I am remembering the MSM narritive. OOPs.
