Viet Dihn guided Fox's legal strategy in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case, which resulted in Rupert Murdoch's company paying a $787.5 million settlement.
The host of ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ and morning host for Fox Business Network figures prominently in Dominion’s claims that the network lied about election fraud.
Dinh guided Fox Corp.’s legal strategy in the case. He was said to have expressed confidence in the company’s ability to win on the grounds that statements made on the conservative news network would be protected by the 1st Amendment.“We appreciate Viet’s many contributions and service to Fox as both a board member of 21st Century Fox and in his role over the last five years as a valued member of Fox’s leadership team,” said Lachlan Murdoch, executive chairman of Fox Corp.
Dinh, who was previously an assistant attorney general in former President George W. Bush’s administration, has been a key player at Fox Corp. since 2018. He is a longtime friend of Lachlan Murdoch, serving as godfather for the executive’s son. While a number of lower-level decision makers involved in the Dominion coverage have left Fox News, which has been subject to cost-cutting in recent months, top brass at both the network and its parent company remained in place before the Friday announcement.
