Fox News Settles With Dominion for $787M Just Hours Into Blockbuster Trial
Fox News waved the white flag on Tuesday, settling with Dominion Voting Systems just hours into the first day of the bombshell trial over whether the conservative cable giant committed “actual malice” by peddling election fraud lies about the voting software firm.
In a press conference shortly after the trial was halted, lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems said they’d settled for $787 million—roughly half of what they’d initially sought.
“We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false,” Fox said in a statement.
