Dominion v. Fox News trial begins after delay.

The high-stakes trial between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News began on Tuesday in Delaware state court, with Dominion alleging that Fox News aired baseless accusations about the company that the network knew were false. Dominion is suing Fox and its parent company, Fox Corporation, for $1.6 billion and has pointed to 20 statements aired on shows hosted by Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity or on Twitter that they argue were defamatory. Fox News argues that the broadcasts are protected by the First Amendment. The case tests the bounds of the First Amendment while highlighting unfounded allegations amplified by a former president and his allies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
