Former President Donald Trump criticized Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch after his company agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems.

During a "fireside chat" with podcaster Steve Bannon, Trump complained Sunday that the government had been "weaponized" against conservatives.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani suggested that Donald Trump may be unable to complete a second term as president because of his age.

During his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani was asked if Trump should pick Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for vice president if he wins the Republican primary. The former mayor acknowledged that the ticket would be difficult because the U.S. Constitution requires running mates to reside in separate states.

Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused Democrats of hating conservative Justice Clarence Thomas because he is a Black man.

During an interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo noted that Thomas was facing ethics investigations after reports found that he failed to disclose expensive gifts and trips.

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel urged Republicans to face women's reproductive rights "head-on" after her party's war on abortion was blamed for poor performance in the midterm elections.

McDaniel addressed the midterm losses in a Sunday interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) agreed with Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy that Hunter Biden contributed to a "crisis" of manliness in the United States.

"There is no doubt that we have a crisis of purpose for men, especially young men in this country, and we just need to call these men to something higher," Hawley told Fox News on Sunday.

Liz Harrington, a spokesperson for Donald Trump, insisted that the former president would not debate at the Reagan Library because it is "rigged."

Harrington made the remarks after a Newsmax host noted that Trump suggested he would not appear in primary debates.

Following a month in which Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit only to days later fire the host of their most popular nighttime show, the conservative network is still dealing with the fallout as ratings have plunged.

According to a report from the Guardian, after a chaotic two weeks, Fox is trying to right the ship with the 2024 election looming and viewers having moved on to competitors such as Newsmax.

In the midst of all his legal battles — including a rape and defamation civil trial currently underway in a Manhattan courtroom that is not going well for him — Donald Trump kicked off his Saturday morning by raging at HBO's "Real Time" host Bill Maher.

Without pointing out what exactly the comedian and gadfly said about him late Friday night, the former president called out Maher as "boring" and insisted HBO should be forced to run "counter programing [sic]."

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Michael Steele recently offered a bit of hard advice for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) following her controversial remarks about a union leader.

The Georgia lawmaker's remarks came during this week's House Select Subcommittee meeting on the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to one Florida lawmaker, Republican officeholders in Tallahassee are looking forward to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announcing his 2024 presidential campaign and hitting the road because they are growing weary of his act which is causing difficulties for them.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show," State Sen. Jason Pizzo (D) was asked by the host why DeSantis -- who looked like a formidable challenger to Donald Trump to head up the GOP's 2024 ticket -- is rapidly falling by the wayside.

Fox Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch faces another potentially costly threat from Prince Harry.

The media conglomerate just agreed to a $787.5 million payout to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems over its 2020 election lies, but some observers believe the company faces an existential threat from the lengthy court battle over phone hacking by Murdoch's tabloids in the U.K., reported The Daily Beast.

Although a formal offer cannot be made, recently fired Fox News personality Tucker Carlson is reportedly getting word that Fox News competitor Newsmax would like him to come on board.

Carlson was abruptly and unceremoniously booted from his popular nighttime show on Monday and is still under contract to his former employer and reportedly has a no-compete clause that prevents him from moving elsewhere immediately.
