New York Court Rules Fox Must Face $2.7 Billion Smartmatic Defamation Lawsuit Over 2020 Election Statements at Trial
Jan 9, 2025, 10:00 PM
A New York appellate court has ruled that Fox Corporation must face a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic, a global elections technology company. The lawsuit stems from statements made on Fox News regarding alleged election fraud following the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The court's decision rejects Fox's attempt to dismiss the case, allowing it to proceed to trial. Smartmatic claims that Fox aired false information about its voting technology, which has led to significant reputational harm. The ruling confirms that the parent company of Fox News will remain part of the legal proceedings.
