Read our privacy policy Right-wing cable network One America News has settled a defamation lawsuit brought by a former Dominion Voting Machines executive over false claims the company had rigged the 2020 presidential election, according to court filings. Mr Coomer’s defamation lawsuit against the Trump 2020 presidential campaign, and the ex-president’s former lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell, appears to still be unresolved. Mr Coomer had alleged in a lawsuit brought in a Colorado district court in late 2020 that he became the “face of the false claims” of bogus vote tampering claims as Mr Trump, boosted by far-right media figures, sought to overturn the election results. OAN is still facing billion-dollar lawsuits brought by Dominion Voting Machines and Smartmatic over its feverish conspiracy-peddling coverage in the wake of Mr Biden’s 2020 election victory.
