Some of the biggest stars at Fox News have been deposed in recent days as a voting technology company presses forward in its $1.6 billion lawsuit against the right-wing talk channel.
Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems notified Fox News last week that it would be deposing host Tucker Carlson Wednesday, court filings show. They also sought Sean Hannity's deposition last week, and Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo is scheduled to appear for a deposition next week, according to court filings.Each of the hosts are specifically mentioned in Dominion's complaint against the network.
"We are confident we will prevail as freedom of the press is foundational to our democracy and must be protected," a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement about the depositions. The network added,"In addition to the damages claims being outrageous, unsupported and not rooted in sound financial analysis, serving as nothing more than a flagrant attempt to deter our journalists from doing their jobs."A spokesperson for Dominion did not immediately have a comment.
