Judge rules Murdoch must testify in Dominion defamation trial.
TL;DR Summary
Dominion Voting Systems can subpoena Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan to testify in person at a defamation trial against Fox News, according to a Delaware judge. The ruling is a setback for Fox News, which had been trying to prevent the elder Murdoch from testifying. Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages from Fox News for defamation. The case hinges on whether Fox executives knowingly peddled false information about Dominion's role in the 2020 election.
