Delaware court dismisses epps defamation suit against fox news

Dansk

A federal judge in Delaware has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by James Ray Epps against Fox News over comments made by Tucker Carlson. The ruling came Friday after Epps tried to amend his complaint. The case centered on allegations that Carlson portrayed Epps as a federal agent provocateur during the January 6 riots.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer Hall granted Fox News' motion to dismiss the amended complaint. She found that Epps failed to allege facts showing actual malice, a required element for public figures in defamation cases. The judge noted that many of Epps' new claims were conclusory statements without supporting details.
