. In more than 60 substantive court rulings, Trump's assertions were found to be groundless, with one limited exception. Fox News argues that it was covering inherently newsworthy claims by inherently newsworthy figures — including the nation's top elected official. It also points to segments where its reporters and news anchors cast cold water on the allegations.
Dominion ties the rhetoric about the company on Fox to harassment targeting its employees,"from software engineers to its founder and chief executive officer."

In mid-December, Bartiromo announced that"an intel source" told her that Trump had won the election. She never followed up with any further material to substantiate that reporting. She is due to be deposed under oath on Thursday.
