In its fight against Dominion’s defamation lawsuit, MAGA cable channel Newsmax is trying to drag into court Father Alexander Karloutsos, a well-known Greek Orthodox priest honored by President Joe Biden in 2022, demanding to see any of his texts related to the voting systems firm.
The right-wing outlet recently subpoenaed Karloutsos, popularly known as “Father Alex,” to testify and provide evidence in a deposition. And the priest’s lawyers responded this week with a petition to quash the subpoena, accusing Newsmax of harassing their client by seeking “all communications” he’s had with anyone about Dominion, calling it an overbroad, unduly burdensome, and improper “fishing expedition.”
Reps for neither Karloutsos nor Newsmax responded to requests for comment.
