The trial in Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News is scheduled to begin Monday.
involving Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News sanctioned lawyers for the network Wednesday after learning they may have withheld evidence showing that its hosts and executives knew there was no support for baseless claims made about Dominion's voting equipment and software and the 2020 presidential election.
A special master may also be asked to look into whether Fox's legal team withheld evidence relating to Rupert Murdoch, chairman of Fox Corporation. In court Tuesday, Fox lawyers disclosed that Murdoch is also an officer of Fox News. Knowing this earlier would have entitled Dominion to broaden its search of relevant records related to Murdoch.
When Bartiromo asked Giuliani what evidence he had implicating Dominion, Giuliani replied,"That's a little harder," according to the latest filing. Suzanne Scott is chief executive officer of Fox News, and Grossberg has alleged Fox's lawyers misleadingly coached and manipulated her to deliver incomplete answers during a deposition taken as part of Dominion's lawsuit against Fox.
Fox and its attorneys failed to turn over copies of the documents to Dominion during its defamation lawsuit, they alleged. Both parties tried to resolve the case by filing for summary judgment but Davis declined to declare a winner in the case before it heads to trial. A jury is expected to decide whether Fox acted with actual malice in broadcasting the unfounded allegations about Dominion and will determine whether the company is entitled to damages, and if awarded, how much.
