Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox News’ popular show “The Five,” is facing a defamation lawsuit from a key witness in the ongoing impeachment investigation of President Joe Biden. Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, has testified that Joe Biden was involved in various business deals with foreign companies and profited from them. Bobulinski alleges that Tarlov’s statements have damaged his reputation irreparably. In a recent segment, Tarlov incorrectly stated that a pro-Trump super PAC paid for Bobulinski’s legal fees.
“Tony Bobulinski’s lawyers’ fees have been paid by a Trump super PAC,” she said. “That’s as recent as January. Do you think that a guy who’s invested in how much better off he wants the United States to be and really getting to the bottom of this would be taking money from the guy who extorted the Ukrainians to get dirt on the Bidens?”
WATCH:
Bobulinski, who testified before a House committee last week, strongly refuted Tarlov’s allegation and asserted that he has personally covered his legal costs, which have exceeded $500,000 thus far.
The following day, Tarlov said on-air: “I would like to clarify a comment I made yesterday during our discussion of Tony Bobulinski’s appearance at the congressional hearing. During an exchange with my colleagues about the hearing, I said that Mr. Bobulinski’s lawyer’s fees have been paid for by a Trump Super PAC as recently as January.”
She added: “What was actually said at the hearing was that the law firm representing Mr. Bobulinski was paid by a Trump PAC. I have seen no indication that those payments were made in connection to Mr. Bobulinski’s legal fees, and he denies that they were.”
WATCH:
Bobulinski has accused Tarlov of defaming him through her public statements, which he claims have caused damage to his reputation and status. He is pursuing compensatory, special, and punitive damages, expressing his desire to ensure that she takes responsibility for her actions in a legal setting.
” It is important for media personalities like Ms. Tarlov to understand that lies have consequences. I have consistently told the truth to the American people about the deep corruption of the Biden family and will continue to do, and I have paid my legal expenses arising from my decision to come forward out of my own pocket. I will donate every penny I may be awarded in this suit to a children’s hospital and to support our military Veterans. Ms. Tarlov refused to apologize and sincerely correct the record. I look forward to holding her accountable in a court of law and to continuing to bring the truth to the American people.”

Tarlov adds nothing to intelligent discussion. She is narrow minded, a liberal who tries to rehash disproven accusations against Trump and Republicans. She demands not to be interrupted yet she does the same to the others. She needs to be put out to pasture,
Leftists act like that!
Bob Beckel, started that position. And every other leftist who followed was even worse than he was. Not one good one on the DEMON RAT side…
CORRECTION:
Leftist Fox News Host Smacked With Major Lawsuit
i see no reason it would be illegal unless the laws about super PACs disallow it… but to suggest he’s purchased that’s sueable so the comment shouldn’t have been made but demoncraps can only use strawman argments and outright lies anyway…
