Judge rules Murdoch's must testify in Dominion defamation trial.
TL;DR
Dominion Voting Systems can subpoena Fox Corporation executives Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch to testify in-person at the upcoming defamation trial against Fox News, according to a Delaware judge. The judge's decision is a blow to Fox, which tried to block the Murdochs from testifying. Dominion has sued Fox News for defamation, claiming it was defamed by the network's false claims that its voting systems illegally rigged the 2020 election. Fox News denies wrongdoing and maintains that the lawsuit is a meritless assault against the First Amendment.
