Tucker Carlson is reportedly in trouble with Fox News. The former Fox News pundit received a cease-and-desist letter from the organization amid the launch of his competing Twitter series “Tucker on Twitter,” according to a new Axios report. Tucker was fired from Fox back in April, following the network’s historic Dominion settlement. Keep reading to find out more… Fox is continuing to pay Tucker according to the report, and claims his contract keeps his content exclusive to Fox through December 31, 2024. Tucker is making a First Amendment argument for posting on Twitter, and claims that Fox has committed material breaches of his contract.

He plans to keep going with his series with longer episodes and the addition of guests, Axios reports. Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer who represents Tucker along with Bryan Freedman, said in a statement to Axios: “Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations.

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.” Find out which other news anchors have been fired in 2023.
