Fox News, O’Leary Sued for Defamation Over Chinese Proxy Claims

Taylor Knuth, a former Utah nonprofit executive, sued Kevin O’Leary and Fox News Network LLC for allegedly defaming him by claiming he was a Chinese government operative opposing O’Leary’s proposed data center near the Great Salt Lake. Opposition from Box Elder County residents has already led O’Leary to reduce the project’s size, while separate litigation seeks to halt construction.
