LOS ANGELES — Fox Corp. has settled the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, but the company's troubles are far from over.
Beyond the $787.5 million payout to end the Dominion case, Fox now must contend with a second defamation suit filed by a rival voting machine company, Smartmatic USA, which has demanded $2.7 billion.
And Fox investors also are lining up with their own lawsuits, alleging that Rupert Murdoch and other board members were derelict in their duties by allowing Fox News to promote election lies, which harmed the network's reputation as a news organization.
