Network, facing second defamation lawsuit after paying $787m to settle with Dominion, to air Iowa event hosted by Sean Hannity
Donald Trump, the former US president, takes part in a Fox News town-hall event in Iowa on Thursday – a prime-time test for the beleaguered network after its legal battle with an election systems company.
Trump, frontrunner for Republican presidential nomination in 2024, continues to push lies about widespread voter fraud costing him the last election against Joe Biden. In April, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787m to avert a trial in the company’s lawsuit over its promotion of the debunked claims.
