Fox is seeking to dismiss Ray Epps’s defamation lawsuit accusing ex-host Tucker Carlson of “spreading falsehoods” about him being a federal agent.
In a motion filed Wednesday to dismiss the complaint, Fox lawyers argued that its on-air hosts were entitled to raise questions about why the man, Ray Epps, was not arrested — a discussion that is “exactly what the First Amendment protects.”
While it’s standard for a defendant to plead for dismissal, the motion provides Fox’s first public response to Epps’s claims. The network did not release a statement when his lawsuit was first filed. “You can draw whatever conclusions you like from that video,” Carlson added. “We have ours, and we shared them with you.”
