Judge restricts Dominion's evidence in $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
TL;DR
Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News heads to trial in Delaware state court this month. Dominion alleges that Fox knowingly spread false claims about the company's voting machines and software in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. Fox argues that the allegations were newsworthy and protected by the First Amendment. The trial will determine whether Fox acted with actual malice and whether Dominion is entitled to damages. Emails and text messages exchanged by Fox's top stars have already been released as part of the lawsuit.
