What we're covering

  • JUST IN: A settlement has been reached in the Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation case against Fox News, a judge has announced.
  • The election technology company is suing over the right-wing cable channel's promotion of debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election. The company needs to convince the jury that people at Fox acted with “actual malice."
  • The judge has already rejected several First Amendment defenses that Fox hoped to invoke, and he further constrained Fox in a flurry of pretrial rulings last week.
  • The high-stakes defamation trial, which is expected to last five to six weeks, was initially set to begin Monday, but was abruptly delayed on Sunday evening.
