New York judge lets $2.7 billion lawsuit by elections company against Fox News proceed — but there's a catch

Raw Story  

On Tuesday, The Daily Beast reported that a federal judge in New York has allowed a $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox News by the voting systems company Smartmatic to proceed. However, the judge dismissed Smartmatic's suits against Fox News host Jeanine Pirro and pro-Trump "Kraken" lawyer Sidney Powell. "Smartmatic has alleged that Giuliani, ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, and several Fox stars 'created a story about Smartmatic,' using network airtime to 'defame and disparage Smartmatic and its election technology and software' with debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election," noted Daily Beast reporter A.J. "While we are gratified that Judge Cohen dismissed Smartmatic’s claims against Jeanine Pirro at this early stage, we still plan to appeal the ruling immediately," Fox News Media said.
