Here’s why the judge stripped Fox of the heart of its defense — the freedom of speech — in the Dominion defamation trial.
Here's how we got here, in a nutshell:Fox News broadcast lies from Donald Trump and his allies about the 2020 election, including false claims that Dominion rigged its voting machines to help Joe Biden win the election.
Dominion filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News in March 2021, seeking a staggering $1.6 billion in damages. A trove of internal Fox communications, including Fox News hosts' text messages, obtained by Dominion during pretrial discovery suggested network talent and officials appeared to know the claims about Dominion were false and aired them anyway.
Judge Davis ruled last month that claims of Dominion unlawfully meddling in the 2020 election were false, but ordered a trial to determine whether the network acted with actual malice when broadcasting those falsehoods. No cameras or recordings are allowed inside the courtroom as the trial unfolds. So follow along here for the latest updates as we listen in on the proceedings.
