Dominion’s defamation lawsuit will be settled by Fox for $787.5 million.
On Tuesday, Fox Corp. and its cable networks reached an agreement to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million to settle the defamation lawsuit brought against them for spreading false claims that Dominion’s machines influenced the results of the 2020 US presidential election.
A resolution has been reached between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News to settle the defamation case worth $1.6 billion. Dominion, an electronic voting company, had sued the cable news giant over baseless accusations aired on its network that alleged Dominion had assisted in manipulating the 2020 US presidential election to favor Joe Biden over Donald Trump.
Fox News released a statement expressing their satisfaction in reaching a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, stating that they recognize the court’s findings that some of their claims about Dominion were untrue. The network emphasized its dedication to upholding the highest standards of journalism and expressed optimism that their decision to settle the dispute with Dominion in a friendly manner instead of engaging in a divisive trial would enable the nation to move past these controversies.

The Donald Trump Indictment
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records. The indictment was unsealed on Tuesday after Trump’s arraignment in a Manhattan courtroom, where he pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office alleges that Trump orchestrated a “catch and kill” scheme aimed at suppressing damaging information prior to the 2016 election.These charges are connected to payments made to Michael D. Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney, as reimbursement for a payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair during the 2016 presidential campaign.
According to a statement of facts released alongside the indictment, “the defendant DONALD J. TRUMP repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.” This indictment suggests that Trump engaged in a pattern of deceptive behavior in an effort to keep damaging information hidden from the public during the election.
