Tucker Carlson has insisted he will “not be silenced” after Fox News sent a cease-and-desist letter ordering him to stop releasing shows on Twitter.

The rightwing network has been locked in a bitter contractual despite with its former primetime anchor since he left in the aftermath of the $787m Dominion Voting Systems payout in April.

Last week, Fox’s attorneys wrote to Carlson demanding he stop posting “Tucker on Twitter” videos which have attracted hundreds of millions of views.

In a statement to Axios, Carlon’s lawyer Harmeet Dhillon said: “Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election.”

Carlon remains under contract at Fox until the end of 2024.
