The judge presiding over Dominion’s defamation case against Fox pushed back on the network’s attorneys for their argument that Rupert Murdoch would be unable to testify live in the upcoming trial.
“Mr. Murdoch has claimed that he is traveling and that it would be an inconvenience,” Davis said. “But I also have people telling me that he has done some things recently that show he is hardly infirm and unable to travel around.
“That doesn’t sound like someone who can’t go from New York to Wilmington,” the judge told attorneys. “So let’s get the story straight on these types of things so I don’t look like an idiot.” Davis said that he had the ability to compel officers, directors and managing agents to testify, depending on the reason their testimony would be needed in a trial. Just who will give live testimony — and whether they will be compelled to do so — is an issue as attorneys and the judge plan out the trial.
