On Wednesday, Jessica Tarlov, a liberal co-host on Fox News Channel's "The Five," accused former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski of having his legal fees paid by a Trump Super PAC, which prompted a demand for a retraction and an apology.
"Tony Bobulinski's lawyers' fees have been paid by a Trump Super PAC that's as recent as January,” she claimed.
Following the accusation, Bobulinski’s lawyer, Jesse R. Binnall, demanded an on-air retraction and an apology from Tarlov and threatened a defamation lawsuit against Fox if these demands weren’t met.
"Let me be perfectly clear,” wrote Binnall. "We will immediately file a defamation lawsuit against Fox, and Ms. Tarlov, if this lie is not retracted by Ms. Tarlov on air today, March 21, 2024. Consistent with her pattern of previous conduct, Ms. Tarlov’s comments were intended to be, and are, extremely damaging, making her immediate retraction of the utmost importance."
During Thursday’s episode of “The Five,” Tarlov offered a “clarification” of her previous claim.
...
However, PJ Media reviewed a new letter from Bobulinski's lawyer, John Sullivan, sent to Jeff A. Taylor, the executive vice president and general counsel for Fox Corporation, which argues that Tarlov did not retract her claim or apologize for making the false statement.
...
This half-hearted response and cavalier attitude is simply unacceptable and Ms. Tarlov was aware at the time she made them that these false statements invoking President Trump would inflame a segment of the country against Mr. Bobulinski and Mr. Passantino and would falsely cause her viewers to disbelieve Mr. Bobulinski’s sworn testimony."
...
if Tarlov fails to comply with this request, "our next communication on this matter will be service of a Summons and Complaint against Fox, and Ms. Tarlov, next week."

Good for DJT if this is true. The hag that lied about being raped by Trump- didn’t some billionaire left winger fund her lawsuit?
Fair and balanced...means letting a liberal on the panel and letting her lie.
Good! Needs a good slappin’
Hope they make that b!tch fix her dam adenoids fixed.... her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard !
Haven’t watched FauxNews a single time since they fired Tucker Carlson.
She’s a snotty little b!tch
later
I hope he can sue that f’ng ****
Conservatives need to hit back hard. Bobulinski is showing them how.
I don’t watch the five because of that double digit IQ, vocal fried idiot.
Same here. Do not access them on the internet either. Period.
If Jessica Tarlov is concerned about who pays the lawyer she better take a look at hunter.
With all the the money the Biden syndicate has made why do the have others pay lawyers trying to hide the income.
NeverTrump News is going to pay his legal fees thanks to this Dingbat.
Jessica Tarlov? Ugh, I think I’m gonna be sick!
Show no mercy to democrats. None. El Deguello.
Here is the “clarification” offered -
“I would like to clarify a comment I made yesterday during our discussion of Tony Bobulinski’s appearance at the congressional hearing,” she said. “During an exchange with my colleagues about the hearing I said that Mr. Bobulinsk’s lawyers’ fees have been paid by a Trump super PAC as recently as January. What was actually said during the hearing was that the law firm representing Mr. Bobulinski was paid by a Trump PAC.”
She added, “I have seen no indication that those payments were made in connection with Mr. Bobulinski’s legal fees and he denies that they were.”
Yes, she has a terrible voice.
The worst is Harol Ford. He’s a real snake in the grass. He’s as bad as Obama.
