Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for D.C., said the quiet part out loud and admitted to helping President Donald Trump and the Republican Party while she was a Fox News weekend host, according to a new report.
Newly unredacted court documents from the voting machine company Smartmatic, which The Washington Post has reported on, have revealed alarming texts from Pirro around the time of the 2020 election. Smartmatic is suing Fox News for $2.7 billion, arguing the network aired claims that it rigged former President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump, despite knowing those allegations were false. Fox News has denied Smartmatic’s allegations, arguing it was partaking in journalism, rather than defamation.
