Network and voting equipment company reach agreement on eve of jury trial over allegations Fox News spread election lies
Fox and the voting equipment company Dominion settled a closely watched defamation lawsuit , ending a dispute over whether the network and its parent company knowingly broadcast false and outlandish allegations that Dominion was involved in a plot to steal the 2020 election. The settlement comes after the jury was sworn in Tuesday morning and after a lengthy, unexpected delay to the start of opening statements.
“The parties have resolved their case,” Judge Eric Davis told jurors Tuesday afternoon before excusing them from the courtroom.
