California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s defamation lawsuit against Fox News is scheduled to go to trial in March 2028, after a Delaware judge sets the date. Newsom is seeking $787 million in damages.

Both outlets report the same procedural development and the large damages figure, but they differ slightly in emphasis. One source focuses on the timing, specifying the March 2028 trial date. The other highlights that the trial timing could overlap with a potential presidential campaign, noting that Newsom may be pursuing national office around that period.
