Fox News, Dominion Voting Systems reach lawsuit settlement in high-stakes defamation case

Excerpt from CBS News:

Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News have reached a deal to resolve the $1.6 billion defamation case the electronic voting company brought against the cable news giant over unfounded accusations broadcast on its air that Dominion helped rig the 2020 presidential election against former President Donald Trump.

Dominion attorneys told reporters that Fox would pay $787.5 million to settle the lawsuit soon after Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis announced that the “case has been resolved.” Davis had brought the jury and 12 alternates back into the courtroom following a lengthy break in proceedings.

“We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false,” the network said in a statement.
