Fox Corp. and its TV networks settled Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million, but voting software company Smartmatic USA's defamation case seeking $2.7 billion in damages remains. Smartmatic's lawsuit alleges that Fox and its hosts didn't just report the false claims being made by Trump and his allies at the time, but that the network, Dobbs, Pirro and Bartiromo "effectively endorsed and participated in the statements with reckless disregard for, or serious doubts about," whether the claims being made on air were true at all. It remains unclear how or whether the settlement between Fox and Dominion will affect Smartmatic's case.

Fox News has settled with Dominion for more than $787 million to avoid a defamation trial over its false claims about the 2020 election.

Dominion, the voting machine manufacturer, is suing Fox News for knowingly spreading disinformation about its products after the 2020 election to appease an audience hungry for conspiracy theories. While it has already been decided that Fox's allegations about Dominion were false, Dominion must now prove that Fox's key decision-makers had knowledge that those statements were false. The case is a tough legal challenge as Dominion has to show "actual malice" to win a defamation case. The case is notable for the juicy pre-trial discovery unearthing caches of messages among Fox employees, which shows that many of them had their doubts about what their network was peddling. Reports of a possible last-minute settlement emerged, but a trial is probably the best way for Dominion to achieve its goal of public accountability for leaning into election denialism.
Michael Wolff and Brian Stelter are looking to profit from the Dominion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, with Wolff spotted at Delaware Superior Court and discussing writing a book about Fox News, while Stelter is releasing his second book on Fox’s Network of Lies.

Dominion, a voting equipment company, is suing Fox News and its parent company Fox Corporation for defamation, seeking at least $1.6bn it says it is due to cover the reputational damage it suffered as a result of Fox’s lies about the 2020 presidential election. The trial is seen as one of the strongest opportunities for holding Fox and its CEO, Rupert Murdoch, accountable for its lies. The case is unusual because Dominion’s case is so strong, and the evidence they have produced offers as close to smoking-gun evidence as one can get. The trial is set to begin on Monday in Wilmington, Delaware, where Fox is incorporated.
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."
