Fox News won its second defamation ruling in as many days after a federal judge in Delaware on Wednesday rejected a former Trump supporter’s claim that the former host Tucker Carlson he acted with “real malice” when he said he was a government provocateur during the January 6 insurrection.

costume was brought in July 2023 by Ray Epps after Carlson had done it the target of one of his conspiracy theories. Months later, however, Epps was indicted, effectively dispelling that unfounded notion. Epps would continue plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct on narrow grounds and was given as proof.

Despite what Carlson said about Epps, defamation cases are hard to win. Judge Jennifer Hall acknowledged that while Carlson may have “engaged in poor journalism,” he did not meet the standard of acting with malicious intent, according to The New York Times.

As further evidence of Epps’ battle, Fox’s attorneys once successfully defended Carlson in a defamation case, arguing that viewers shouldn’t take it literally.

The right-wing network endorsed the development on Wednesday, alluding to a pair of its other recent legal victories.

“Following the dismissal of the Jankowicz, Bobulinski and now Epps cases, FOX News is pleased with these consecutive federal court decisions that preserve First Amendment press freedoms,” a spokesperson told the Daily Beast.

On Tuesday, a New York judge dismissed a defamation suit against host Jessica Tarlov by one of her House Republican witnesses in her ill-fated effort to impeach Biden.

And over the summer, another defamation process he was dismissed. It was filed by Nina Jankowicz, the former head of the Biden administration’s short-lived Disinformation Governance Council at the Department of Homeland Security. Jankowicz alleged that the network “repeatedly fed lies about me to tens of millions of viewers,” which led to violent threats and harassment.

Fox, who settled a defamation suit last April with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million, still facing a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit from voting technology company Smartmatic.
