A day after House Democrats called out past commentary on Fox News about Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's patriotism, his lawyer sent the network a legal letter demanding that it 'should retract and correct the falsehoods it has spread against LTC Vindman'
demanding that it "should retract and correct the falsehoods it has spread against LTC Vindman."
The letter was sent to Fox News executive vp and general counsel Lily Fu Claffee by Boies Schiller Flexner partner David Pressman on Wednesday., the conservative pundit discussed Vindman's Ukrainian heritage in the context of his objection to President Trump's conduct toward the country. "Now, wait a second, John,” Ingraham said. “Here we have a U.S. national security official who is advising Ukraine, while working inside the White House, apparently against the president’s interest, and usually they spoke in English. Isn’t that kind of an interesting angle on this story?!” Her guest, former Bush administration attorney John Yoo, responded: "I find that astounding. Some people might call that espionage.
On Wednesday, Vindman's attorney wrote: "At no time since the segment aired at 10 p.m. on October 28, 2019, has Fox News retracted or corrected the allegations despite knowing that they are false. Instead, Fox News has watched as the false narrative it originated about allegations of dual loyalties — an accusation that had never before been made against LTC Vindman, a decorated patriot and veteran — were republished by some of the most powerful people in the world.

Dr. Luke Accuses Kesha's Former Lawyer of Lying Over Court DocsThe last time I recall hearing about Dr. Luke was all the way back in January, when Lady Gaga reiterated her support for Kesha in an unsealed deposition. Kesha, as you may remember, accused Dr. Luke (real name Lukasz Gottwald) of sexual and emotional abuse including rape, and filed a suit against him in 2014. He countersued for defamation, and their legal battle continues. Kesha’s request to be dropped from Luke’s label, Kemosabe, was also denied. Now, there’s this: according to Page Six, Dr. Luke has requested that a judge sanction Kesha’s former lawyer Mark Geragos because, he claims, Geragos lied during a 2017 court battle. (Kesha split ways with the attorney in 2016.)
