Fox Corp said on Friday Viet Dinh would step down from his role as chief legal officer and become a special adviser to the company, effective Dec. 31.
Dinh joined FOX as chief legal and policy officer in 2018 and has led the news company's legal, compliance, and regulatory matters, as well as overseen government affairs.
This follows the $787.5 million defamation settlement earlier this year with Dominion Voting Systems, which sued Fox in 2021 over Fox News' coverage of false vote-rigging claims about the voting technology firm.
