Fox and Dominion Voting Systems have reached a settlement in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, which means the case will not go to trial. The attorney for Dominion said the settlement was for $787.5 million, after Dominion had asked for $1.6 billion. The case exposed how the top-rated network pursued viewers by promoting lies about the 2023 presidential election, alleging that Dominion’s equipment switched votes from former President Donald Trump to Democrat Joe Biden. Records released as part of the lawsuit showed how Fox hosts and executives did not believe the claims by Trump’s allies but aired them anyway. The settlement, if formally accepted by the judge, will end a case that has proven a major embarrassment for Fox News.
