Viet Dinh, a key strategic and business leader at Fox Corp. and a longtime consiglieri in the Murdoch empire, is leaving his executive post in the wake of the Fox News settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
Dinh will step down as Chief Legal and Policy Officer on December 31 and become a “special advisor” to the company, Fox said in a press release issued Friday after the close of trading.
Dinh came aboard 21st Century Fox in 2018 just before Disney acquired most of the company, leaving a clutch of TV-focused assets that took on the corporate name Fox Corp. Working closely with CEO Lachlan Murdoch, he played a significant role in guiding Fox’s path, handling all legal, compliance and regulatory matters as well as overseeing government affairs.

Viet Dinh, the influential chief legal officer of Fox Corp. who is believed to have played a significant role in the company’s failed legal strategy against a massive defamation suit filed against it by Dominion Voting Systems, is leaving his role at the media conglomerate at the end of the year.
He is expected to become a special advisor to the company effective December 31, 2023.
“We appreciate Viet’s many contributions and service to Fox as both a board member of 21st Century Fox and in his role over the last five years as a valued member of Fox’s leadership team,” said Lachlan Murdoch, Fox’s executive chairman and CEO, in a statement.
Dinh has long been perceived as having a role at Fox that is greater than his title. In January of 2021, then-New York Times media columnist Ben Smith called Dinh ”a kind of regent who mostly runs the company day-to-day.

In the spring of 2020, Tucker Carlson went to war with one of Fox News’ most powerful figures.
Carlson had grown so furious with Fox’s communications and PR chief, Irena Briganti, that he attempted to get her fired, people familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. Briganti, formerly a key lieutenant to the late, disgraced Fox News mastermind Roger Ailes, had been an influential figure in the cable-news industry for years, as an infamously aggressive enforcer within Fox’s public-relations apparatus.
But after years of mutual antipathy between the executive and the high-profile host,...
