case brought by <strong>Ray Epps<\/strong>, a <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> supporter who became the subject of a rightwing conspiracy theory about the January 6 attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A <strong>Fox News Media<\/strong> statement referred to other dismissed lawsuits when it said: \u201cFollowing the dismissals of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/business\/business-news\/defamation-suit-fox-news-head-dismantled-disinformation-board-tossed-f-rcna163144\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Jankowicz<\/a><\/strong>,

cases, Fox News is pleased with these back-to-back decisions from federal courts preserving the press freedoms of the first amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Epps, now 63, is a former US marine and ex-member of the Oath Keepers militia who traveled from Arizona to Washington on 6 January 2021, as Trump sought to overturn his 2020 defeat by Joe Biden. Epps was eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/jan\/09\/capitol-rioter-ray-epps-sentenced-jan-6-undercover-conspiracy\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">sentenced<\/a> to probation for his role in the attack on Congress that ensued, a riot linked to nine deaths and over which Trump was impeached but acquitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">After becoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2023\/sep\/19\/ray-epps-charged-january-6-conspiracy-theory\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">subject to claims<\/a> he was a covert government agent who stirred Trump supporters to cause trouble, Epps was forced into hiding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">At his own sentencing, Epps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-67918709\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">said<\/a>: \u201cI have learned that truth is not always found in the places that I used to trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2023\/jul\/12\/fox-news-faces-another-defamation-lawsuit-involving-tucker-carlson\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">filed suit<\/a> against Fox in July last year. The suit said: \u201cIn the aftermath of the events of January 6, Fox News searched for a scapegoat to blame other than Donald Trump or the Republican party. Eventually, they turned on one of their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The suit <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.ded.83032\/gov.uscourts.ded.83032.1.1_1.pdf\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">cited<\/a> Fox News hosts including <strong>Laura Ingraham<\/strong> and <strong>Will Cain<\/strong> but most prominently <strong>Tucker Carlson<\/strong>, who it said \u201cwas bluntly telling his viewers that it was a fact that Epps was a government informant. And they believed him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Carlson was not a target of the suit \u2013 a lawyer for Epps said he \u201cwas an employee of Fox when he lied about Ray, and Fox broadcast those defamatory falsehoods. Fox is therefore fully liable for Mr Carlson\u2019s statements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Carlson was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2023\/apr\/24\/tucker-carlson-leaving-fox-news\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">fired<\/a> by Fox in April 2023, shortly after it settled (<a

<strong>Dominion Voting Systems<\/strong> over the advancement of Trump\u2019s electoral fraud lie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Carlson has since flourished as an independent voice in far-right

class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A report also emerged that former congressman Matt Gaetz, who was briefly Trump\u2019s first choice for US attorney general but stood aside after eight days amid a sexual misconduct scandal, was also targeted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A spokesperson for Trump confirmed threats against some of his cabinet picks but did not initially give any names or say how many people had received threats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">But Hegseth, the military veteran steeped in controversy over his conservative views after being selected, was understood to be among the number, according to two people familiar with the developments.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"

class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Reports by the <strong>Trump<\/strong> transition team that multiple Trump appointees and nominees were targeted by bomb threats and swatting comes amid a season of heightened concerns about political violence \u2013 and following two assassination attempts against Trump himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On 13 July, a shooter fired into the crowd during an open-air Trump rally in <strong>Butler, Pennsylvania<\/strong>, injuring two attendees and killing one. Trump was grazed by the gunfire but emerged almost entirely uninjured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Two months later, on 15 September, a suspect was caught while pointing a gun toward Trump\u2019s <strong>Mar-a-Lago<\/strong> golf course, where Trump was golfing. He was apprehended the same day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Both incidents prompted the Trump and Harris campaigns to adopt heightened security for the duration of the race. After the Pennsylvania shooting, Trump frequently appeared at rallies behind bulletproof glass.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"70a34b5f-8709-4921-ac86-0aa2ed58b0b5\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-1fujct4\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Donald Trump is covered by U.S. Secret Service agents at a campaign rally, 13 July, 2024, in Butler, Pa.
