Fox News host Sean Hannity is scheduled to be deposed on Wednesday in a billion-dollar election conspiracy lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems. In the lawsuit, which was filed by Dominion last March, they allege that Fox News had a hand in pushing an agenda pertaining to Trump's claim that the 2020 election was unfairly won by President Biden. Fellow Fox hosts Tucker Carlson, Jeannine Pirro and former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs are also named in association to the lawsuit, according to ABC News.

"Fox sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process," a representative for Dominion stated in their initial complaint against the network. "Fox recklessly disregarded the truth . . . Indeed, Fox knew these statements about Dominion were lies."
