Dominion And Fox News Reach Settlement In Defamation Case

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE - APRIL 18: Lawyers representing Dominion Voting Systems talk to reporters outside the Leonard Williams Justice Center following a settlement with FOX News in Delaware Superior Court on April 18, 2023 in Wilmington, Delaware. According to reports, FOX will pay Dominion $787.5 million. Dominion was seeking $1.6 billion in damages because it claimed it was defamed by FOX when the cable network broadcast false claims that it was tied to late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, that it paid kickbacks to politicians and that its voting machines were 'rigged' and switched millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
