Fox News is asking the court to dismiss California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s defamation lawsuit against the media giant over the date of a June phone call between the governor and President Donald Trump in its news reports.

The motion to strike the case was filed on Aug. 5 and also asks the court to require the governor to pay Fox News’s attorneys’ fees.
