Fox's top lawyer is stepping down just a few months after the company's mammoth Dominion settlement. Viet Dinh will receive a $23 million lump sum payment when he exits as chief legal officer later this year. Dinh was a key confidant of the Murdochs and is godfather to Fox Corp CEO Lachlan's son. One of Fox's most prominent lawyers and a key player in the Dominion settlement is stepping down from his influential role at the company, and will take home a $23 million exit package. Dominion sued Fox for $1.6 billion after the group's news channel raised doubts about the Dominion's voting machines following the 2020 presidential elections.
