Fox News Apologizes to Dominion Judge for Misunderstanding
Fox News has apologized to the judge overseeing Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit after it was revealed that Rupert Murdoch's role as an officer at Fox News was not disclosed until days before the trial. The judge had sanctioned Fox for making misrepresentations to the court and delayed turning over evidence. Dominion's attorneys said that the network had concealed Murdoch's official role, which prevented them from obtaining more evidence regarding him. The judge may appoint a special master to investigate whether representations by Fox made to the court were "untrue or negligent."
