Right-wing network Newsmax settles Smartmatic defamation lawsuit

LA Times  

Newsmax has settled a defamation lawsuit from voting machine company Smartmatic over the right-wing network’s false reporting on fraud claims in the 2020 presidential election. Smartmatic’s suit said Newsmax provided a platform for its hosts, Donald Trump and the former president’s attorneys and allies to falsely claim that the company’s software was manipulated to deliver the election for President Biden. But Judge Eric Davis ruled Monday that there would be no punitive damages in the case and that Smartmatic would have to prove the actual financial impact of Newsmax’s actions. Like Smartmatic, Dominion said Fox News’ reporting on false claims of election fraud damaged its business.
