Fox News, Dominion Prepare for Battle in $1.6 Billion Defamation Trial
Delaware jury is slated to decide whether network acted with ‘actual malice’ in broadcasting false election-fraud claims
Fox News is set to find itself Monday in a place it has spent two years trying to avoid: a Delaware courtroom where a jury is expected decide a once in a generation defamation case that could have broad ramifications for the network and test the contours of modern media law.
The news network, a unit of Fox Corp., is accused by voting-machine company Dominion Voting Systems of airing false claims by hosts and guests that Dominion helped rig the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election in favor of Joe Biden.
