Donald Trump continued to rail against Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch following the release of documents in Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News. Trump said that Murdoch should get rid of anchors who refuted the false election claims
This time, Trump said that Murdoch should apologize for defending the 2020 presidential election results. According to Dominion’s filing, released on Monday, Murdoch didn’t believe Trump’s election claims, including that the results were rigged in favor of Joe Biden. The Justice Department found no evidence to support claims of widespread fraud.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Rupert Murdoch should apologize to his viewers and readers for his ridiculous defense of the 2020 Presidential Election. How many forms of cheating and rigging does he have to see? He should also apologize to those anchors who got it right, and fire the ones who got it wrong, or were afraid to speak up . It’s time to get rid of Fake News, and call it like it is!”
Dominion claims in its lawsuit that Fox hosts and guests defamed the election systems company as theyfalse claims that the election systems company was involved in rigging the election. Through a flurry of texts, emails and depositions, Dominion is trying to show that Fox personalities and executives knew that the claims were false but, afraid of losing the Trump-backing audience, advanced them on the network programming anyway.
