Former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg tells NBCNews she believes she was set up to be a scapegoat in Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox Corp. over baseless election fraud claims: “They’re a big corporate machine that destroys people.'
“They’re a big corporate machine that destroys people,” Grossberg told NBC News in her most extensive interview to date.
But Dominion and Fox are still awaiting a summary judgment ruling from the judge that could favor one side, or go forward with the trial. At one point, Grossberg said she received a text message from her boss that she paraphrased as saying: “You can let Maria know there will be no fact checking today. She can do what she wants. … Go wild.”
The Fox News spokesperson said the network"cannot verify" those statements and that the people she attributed the remarks to were on the producer level and not in any level of leadership. “I realized that the answers that they wanted me to say were putting me in a very vulnerable position to be the company scapegoat.”
The Fox News spokesperson said “the assertion that Ms. Grossberg was coached or intimidated into being dishonest during her Dominion deposition is patently false.”
