TL;DR Summary

Dominion Voting Systems won a summary judgment for some of its claims against Fox News in a $1.6 billion defamation case, giving it a head start in trial. A Delaware judge found that Fox News' statements about Dominion are false, making it an issue that won't be disputed at trial. The outcome of the trial will set a historic precedent for how the First Amendment is interpreted to protect news companies. Unless the lawsuit is settled before April 17th, when the trial is slated to begin, lawyers for both parties will have the opportunity to question witnesses on the stand.
