Fox News to pay $787.5mln to settle Dominion defamation case

19-04-2023 12:28 PM


Ammon News - Fox News, an American multinational television channel, reached a last-second settlement with Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday as the case raced toward opening statements, paying more than $787 million to end a colossal two-year legal battle.

The settlement is the largest publicly known defamation settlement in US history involving a media company.

The last-minute agreement means the closely watched case is over and won’t proceed to trial.

In 2021, Dominion alleged that Fox hosts and guests amplified false claims that its voting technology helped rig the election for Joe Biden. The company sought $1.6 billion in damages.

Fox argued that it was covering newsworthy claims by associates of then-President Donald Trump and that its broadcasts should be protected by the First Amendment.
