What to expect in the Dominion defamation lawsuit against Fox
Al JazeeraOpening statements to begin Tuesday, with Dominion saying that Fox deliberately spread false election fraud claims. Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corporation, are currently the subjects of a $1.6bn defamation lawsuit, alleging they deliberately pushed false claims about the Colorado-based company Dominion Voting Systems and its role in the 2020 presidential election. Fox News aired false claims that, during the 2020 election, Dominion voting machines were rigged as part of an effort to steal the election from former President Donald Trump. Lawyers for the Fox Corporation have pushed against those allegations, saying that Dominion has provided “zero evidentiary support” to back up the claim that high-level executives at the Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, played a role in creating or promoting the false claims. “Dominion repeatedly asked Fox News executives, hosts, and staff whether Fox Corporation employees played a role in the publication of the statements it challenges,” they wrote.
