The letter, addressed to Viet Dinh and Irena Briganti, was sent before Tucker Carlson announced on Twitter that he was bringing a new version of his show to the platform.<\/p>\n<h3>Non-Compete Provision No Longer Valid<\/h3>\n<p>The letter sets Carlson up to argue that the non-compete provision in his contract is no longer valid, which would allow him to start the show or start a new media company. The letter alleges that \u201cRupert Murdoch himself\u201d broke promises to Carlson \u201cintentionally and with reckless disregard for the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Private Communications Leaked<\/h3>\n<p>The letter accuses Fox News of breaking an agreement with Carlson to not leak his private communications to the media and to not use his private messages to \u201cto take any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-taking-aim-at-amazon-warehouse-production-quotas-passes-california-senate\/\" title=\"Bill Taking Aim At Amazon Warehouse Production Quotas Passes California Senate\">adverse employment action<\/a> against him.\u201d Some of Carlson\u2019s private messages played a large role in the decision the Fox executives made to take Carlson off the air.<\/p>\n<h3>Promises Broken<\/h3>\n<p>The letter also alleges that Fox News broke promises about how it would settle with Dominion Voting Systems as it related to Carlson. Fox News said that it was \u201ccategorically false\u201d that Carlson was fired because of the $787.5 million settlement. An attorney for Dominion told Axios that \u201cDominion did not insist on them firing Tucker Carlson as part of the settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>PR Head Interfered with Carlson\u2019s Future Business Prospects<\/h3>\n<p>The letter alleges that Briganti, Fox\u2019s PR head, attempted to \u201cundermine, embarrass, and interfere\u201d with Carlson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-sends-warning-to-elon-musk-to-not-address-wuhan-lab-leak-theory\/\" title=\"China Sends Warning to Elon Musk to Not Address Wuhan Lab Leak Theory\">future business prospects<\/a>, which Carlson\u2019s team would constitute as another breach of his employment contract. The letter said they intend to \u201csubpoena Ms. Briganti\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jan-6-committee-issues-first-subpoenas-to-four-trump-aides-allies\/\" title=\"Jan. 6 Committee Issues First Subpoenas To Four Trump Aides, Allies\">cell phone records<\/a> and related documents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how this legal battle will play out, but one thing is for sure: Carlson is not backing down. As he said in his Twitter video, \u201cFree speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The attorney representing Tucker Carlson accused Fox News of fraud and contract breach in a letter to top officials at the network.
