Tucker Carlson is a powerhouse without Fox News.

Now Fox is coming for Tucker!

Tucker Carlson’s lawyer told Axios if Fox News takes legal action against him it would be a violation of his First Amendment rights.

Axios reported:

Fox News Wednesday notified Tucker Carlson’s lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties.

Carlson’s lawyers told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights.

“Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events,” said Carlson’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, in a statement to Axios.

Tucker was ousted from Fox News in April after the outlet settled with Dominion Voting Systems.

Last month Tucker Carlson accused Fox News of fraud and breach of contract.

Bulk of Federal Charges Against Trump in Classified Docs Probe will be in South Florida: Report

Jack Smith has been investigating Trump after he stored presidential records at Mar-a-Lago and whether the former president tried to obstruct the probe.

According to leaks to the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, Jack Smith is pursuing possible indictments against Mar-a-Lago staffers, Trump or Trump aides in Florida!

Shocking news of a Florida grand jury was revealed this week through leaks to the media.

Bloomberg noted evidence collected from the grand jury in Florida may be used in the DC case against Trump.

“It wasn’t immediately clear what the Florida activity means for the future direction of Smith’s work. Justice Department rules generally state that prosecutors can only present a case for indictment to a grand jury in the district where a particular offense took place, although they can use evidence they’ve collected in front of panels sitting elsewhere. It’s possible, for instance, that Smith’s office could pursue indictments against certain people in Florida and others in Washington.” Bloomberg reported.

On Wednesday John Solomon of Just The News, Trump’s lawyers were told that Trump could be indicted as early as this week.

Trump later denied John Solomon’s report.

Trump statement came amid a report from one of his allies that he has been told this. NYT, CNN, WaPo and other outlets have all reported federal officials have been building toward a likely indictment, including with witnesses in Miami before a grand jury today.

According to a leak to the Washington Post, if Trump is indicted, the bulk of the charges will be in South Florida.

Other process crimes such as false statements and perjury may be filed in Washington DC.

The Washington Post reported:

Justice Department prosecutors are planning to bring a significant portion of any charges stemming from the possible mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, the home of former president Donald Trump, at a nearby federal court in south Florida, according to people familiar with the matter.

The legal rationale for such a move is that the bulk of the conduct at issue in the investigation occurred in the southern district of Florida, in and around Trump’s Palm Beach residence and private club, even if much of the investigation — led by special counsel Jack Smith — has been handled by a grand jury in Washington. D.C., these people said.

That approach by prosecutors does not rule out the possibility of some charges, such as perjury or false statements, being filed in the nation’s capital in connection with out of grand jury appearances or law enforcement interviews that took place there, according to these people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the internal discussions.
