Dominion Voting Systems says Fox News Network amplified false claims that its machines were used to rig the election against Donald Trump and in favor of Joe Biden

Fox Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch is expected to be questioned under oath on Thursday and Friday in a defamation lawsuit over his network’s coverage of unfounded vote-rigging claims during the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

A judge rejected the network’s bid to toss the case in December 2021. “From the highest levels down, Fox knowingly spread lies about Dominion,” the election machine company said in a statement. Dominion has also sought communications from Murdoch, his son Lachlan Murdoch and other Fox News personnel, as it seeks to prove that the network either knew the statements it aired were false or recklessly disregarded their accuracy. That is the standard of “actual malice,” which public figures must prove to prevail in defamation cases.
