Top Fox News legal officer announces resignation following Dominion lawsuit settlement
"Since the departure of Tucker Carlson, the network's ratings king, and sole truth-teller, Fox News has had a rough year, to say the least.According to NBC News, in the wake of a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, the network's chief legal officer has announced his exit from the network's ranks and will instead become a special adviser.
Viet Dinh, Fox's chief legal and policy officer, said he'd step down from his executive roles at what used to be the consistently top-rated news network by the end of the year. Fox News will reportedly pay him a handsome $23 million severance package. He'll also earn another $5 million total for his two-year contract as a special adviser to the network."
Viet Dinh served as Assistant Attorney General from 2001 to 2003, where he worked primarily on federal legal policy. Dinh played a significant role in developing the USA PATRIOT Act, a controversial act signed into law by President Bush, which expanded the investigative and prosecutorial power of the federal government in matters of national security. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1993.
