Fox News Sued for $1.6 Billion over False Claims About Electronic Voting

HeadlineAug 26, 2022

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is set to be deposed today in a lawsuit brought by the voting machine company at the center of Republicans’ false claims about a stolen 2020 election. Dominion Voting Systems is seeking $1.6 billion from Fox News, alleging the network’s hosts defamed the company by repeatedly promoting baseless conspiracy theories that its voting machines were used to steal votes from Donald Trump. Other prominent Fox News hosts facing depositions include Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro and Steve Doocy.
