Kevin O’Leary, Fox News sued over claims data center critics had China ties

Kevin O’Leary and Fox News Media are sued by a Utah nonprofit and political consulting firm for falsely alleging they worked for the Chinese Communist Party to oppose O’Leary’s data center project. The plaintiffs claim O’Leary repeated baseless accusations in media appearances, while Fox amplified them without verification. Both parties later retracted the claims after legal pressure.
