Tucker Carlson gets a cease-and-desist letter from Fox
Axios did not reveal the letter’s contents but noted it had “NOT FOR PUBLICATION” across the top in bold lettering.
Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who represents Carlson with attorney Bryan Freedman, fired back in a statement.
“Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations,” the statement said.
“Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election.”
“Tucker will not be silenced by anyone … He is a singularly important voice on matters of public interest in our country and will remain so.”
