Rupert Murdoch's Deposition in Smartmatic Election Lawsuit Shakes Fox News

Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp and co-chairman of 21st Century Fox, is being deposed under oath in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed against Fox Corp. by Smartmatic, a voting technology company. This is the second time Murdoch has been deposed this year in a lawsuit accusing Fox News of airing damaging lies about the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Murdoch stepped down as chairman of Fox and News Corp. earlier this month.
