A judge has announced a settlement in the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News. The agreement prevents a high-profile trial that was already underway.
As part of the settlement, Fox News will pay Dominion $787.5 million. A lawyer for Dominion confirmed the payment amount.
The lawsuit accused Fox News of knowingly broadcasting false claims that Dominion's voting machines were used to rig the 2020 presidential election. The network has now agreed to this major financial payment to resolve the legal dispute.
