Tucker Carlson, who was recently taken off-air by Fox News following a damaging defamation lawsuit over false claims of election fraud, has violated his contract with the network by launching his own Twitter show, according to Axios. The news website obtained a copy of a letter sent by Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar to Carlson's legal team, in which he states that Carlson is in breach of his contract agreement. This letter was sent shortly after Carlson released the first episode of his new show on Twitter on Tuesday.

The fact that Carlson launched his own Twitter show has caught the attention of Fox News, which has accused him of violating his contract with them. Although Carlson's legal team could not be reached for comment, his lawyer Bryan Freedman told Axios that legal action against his client would violate his First Amendment rights to free speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Apparently, Fox News wants to take Carlson's right to speak freely away from him just because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events.

It is interesting that Fox News has accused Carlson of violating his contract, especially since the network 'defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds.' Carlson's lawyer claimed that the former prime-time host's contract included a clause that 'prohibited him from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.' It is unclear what steps Fox News will take next, but this is undoubtedly a developing story to watch.
