NEW YORK — A Delaware judge denied Fox News’ motion to dismiss Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation suit against the network on Friday, sending the case to trial.
A jury will be asked to determine whether the network committed actual malice when it presented false voter fraud allegations in the 2020 election.
The ruling by Justice Eric M. Davis issued Friday granted Dominion’s contention that Fox News published false information about the voting machine company in the weeks after the election, when outgoing President Donald Trump and his allies spread the false allegations.
