Fox News Settles Dominion Suit for $787 Million, Acknowledges False Statements About 2020 Election

Fox News on Tuesday agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million as part of a settlement that also included a statement from Fox saying it acknowledges it made false statements about Dominion in the days and weeks after the 2020 election. Dominion alleged that Fox News hosts knowingly told lies about the company that damaged its reputation. The settlement came just before a jury trial was set to begin and less than a month after a judge ruled that the evidence “demonstrates that it’s CRYSTAL clear that none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true.”
