A Fox News producer says the network’s lawyers coerced her into giving misleading testimony in Dominion Voting Systems Inc.’s $1.6 billion lawsuit over the network’s unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Abby Grossberg, who was a producer for hosts Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson, made her claims in a sex discrimination lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan.
She filed the complaint a day ahead of a hearing before a Delaware state judge over whether he should decide the Dominion defamation case without a trial scheduled for April 17. Dominion is suing Fox News for airing baseless claims by allies of then-President Donald Trump that the Denver-based voting machine maker participated in a broad conspiracy with Democrats and foreign governments to alter election results in favor of Joe Biden. Fox News denies wrongdoing in the Dominion case.
