Fox Corp marks another high-level exit with legal chief Viet Dinh stepping down

Dinh's exit another major departure from the network since its $787.5m settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in April

Fox Corp said Friday that its chief legal officer Viet Dinh was stepping down, a high-profile exit that follows the media company's $787.5m settlement in April of a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems over its 2020 US election coverage.

Dinh, who will exit the role at the end of 2023, joined Fox in 2018 and headed its legal and compliance divisions during the months-long legal battle sparked by the network's coverage of false claims that Dominion rigged the election.
