Smartmatic and Dominion continue legal battles against Fox News.
TL;DR Summary
Smartmatic, a voting systems company, is suing Fox News for at least $2.7 billion in damages for maliciously giving Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani a platform to air false claims about the 2020 presidential election. Unlike Dominion, Smartmatic is suing multiple hosts and Giuliani as individuals, in addition to Fox. The case will be tried in New York state court, rather than Delaware. Fox is expressing confidence in its chances in court against Smartmatic, insisting that the voting systems company cannot tie any damages it may have suffered to Fox’s segments, because the voter fraud claims at issue were promoted in many other places.
