Fox Corp.'s top lawyer Viet Dinh steps down months after $787.5M Dominion settlement

Viet Dinh, Fox's chief legal officer, is leaving his role at the end of 2023 and becoming a special advisor.
Dinh's departure follows criticism over his handling of Dominion's defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
Fox has paid nearly $800 million to settle claims about false election fraud allegations following the 2020 election.
Dinh was believed to be instrumental in Fox's unsuccessful legal strategy against the Dominion case.
Fox still faces additional lawsuits related to election fraud claims made on air.
