Fox News faces legal woes and criticism in ongoing defamation cases.

Fox News has said that Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo, and other top on-air personalities will be available to testify as it defends itself against a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit claiming it lied about voter fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Fox host Jeanine Pirro and former host Lou Dobbs are also on Fox's witness list, and others including hosts Bret Baier and Dana Perino could be called to testify by either side. Dominion Voting Systems is hoping to prove that Fox ruined its reputation by repeatedly airing false claims by former Republican President Donald Trump, his lawyers, and others that its voting machines were used to steal the 2020 election for Democrat Joe Biden.
