Libel lawsuit – voter fraud allegations: Fox pays damages

Date:

In his allegations of election fraud, deposed US President Donald Trump also targeted the US company Dominion. It manufactures voting machines and also develops the necessary software. Trump’s accusation: The company manipulated the machines so that Joe Biden would win. The conservative news channel Fox News also picked up on this topic in 2020 and was sued by Dominion for libel. Before the trial began, there was a bang: the two parties to the dispute have reached an agreement.

That was announced by the responsible judge in Wilmington, Delaware, where the trial was to begin on Tuesday. Dominion has sued Fox News for $1.6 billion in damages over false allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The right-wing U.S. news outlet is now paying voting machine company Dominion $787.5 million, as Dominion attorney Justin Nelson said in front of the US courthouse Wilmington.

Following the settlement, Dominion’s legal representative said it was an “improvement of truth and accountability.” CEO John Poulos stressed in a statement: “Fox has admitted to spreading lies that have caused massive damage to my company.” Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and fellow attorney Sidney Powell.
