Fox News Faces Backlash for Trump Baseball Cap Omission

Fox News faced backlash after airing old footage of President Donald Trump without his baseball cap during Sunday coverage of a solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force Base. The event marked the dignified transfer of remains for six U.S. soldiers killed in the Middle East conflict the day before.
