- Court Grants Fox News Additional Discovery in Smartmatic Case – But Allows Cas...
Ted Shaffrey/AP photo A New York appeals court granted Fox News some additional discovery rights to defend against Smartmatic’s defamation lawsuit — but that discovery will be of limited use as a potential defense and the court also allowed the case to continue toward trial. The litigation so far In 2021, Smartmatic filed a $2.7 billion defamation suit against Fox, alleging that the network’s coverage falsely accused the voting technology company of committing fraud in the 2020 election to steal the victory from President Donald Trump and give it to President Joe Biden, and that these false statements damaged the company’s reputation and resulted in its employees being subjected to death threats and harassment. The case has a number of similarities with the defamation lawsuit filed against Fox by another voting technology company, Dominion Voting Systems, which settled in April 2023 for a stunning $787.5 million just as the trial was ready to begin in Delaware. Discovery in the Dominion case revealed a trove of emails, text messages, and other communications between the network’s executives and on-air personalities admitting they knew the election fraud claims were false, mocking Trump’s attorneys and surrogates as “crazy” for pushing them, and fretting about falling in the ratings to upstart competitors like Newsmax and OANN if they didn’t indulge MAGA viewers. Likewise, no current or former Fox employee who testified in the Smartmatic case said they believed Smartmatic switched votes or otherwise committed fraud in the 2020 election, and discovery has unearthed another pile of internal Fox communications relating to this case, some of which were included in a redacted motion filed in June 2025, which was then updated with fewer redactions that August. One of these communications was a Dec. 5, 2020 text message from Fox News host Jesse Watters to his colleague Greg Gutfeld that said, “Think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL,” contradicted by Watters’ testimony that he never “bought into” the claims that “software and voting machines” like Smartmatic’s were used to switch votes, calling such claims “pretty out there” and he had “seen no evidence that Smartmatic Technology switched votes in the 2020 Election in the United States.” Other internal Fox communications sharply criticized the election fraud claims by Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and other Trump allies about Smartmatic by using words that included “crazy,” “really crazy,” “f*cking crazy,” “[t]ons… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago - Akron Children’s Hospital Secures Notre Dame CampusAkron Children’s Hospital has successfully acquired the former Notre Dame campus, marking a significant development for the local healthcare landscape.
