Fox News has sent a cease and desist letter to former host Tucker Carlson after the conservative pundit published the first two episodes of his new Twitter show.

Carlson was taken off the air just days after the network agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million to settle a blockbuster defamation suit stemming from its coverage of the 2020 election and former President Trump’s false claims of voter fraud.
